A pilot stranded in the desert awakes one morning to see, standing before him, the most extraordinary little fellow. "Please," asks the stranger, "draw me a sheep." And the pilot realizes that when life's events are too difficult to understand, there is no choice but to succumb to their mysteries. He pulls out pencil and paper . . . and thus begins this wise and enchanting fable that, in teaching the secret of what is really important in life, has changed the world forever.

I've seen cartoons but I really want to read the book.

This book was a family favourite and once I read it I knew why.It was so amazing! There were really strong messages on child equality and the importance of things while the little prince was such a nice guy.I absolutely loved it and I recommend anyone with a good imagination reads it to as it is very short and sweet.

The Little Prince is one of my favorite books. It is about a pilot who crashes who encounters a strange young person, who travelled here from his solitary asteroid home, where he lives with a single rose. This is all I am going to tell you, read the book to find out the rest! It is awesome, believe me.

I loved The Little Prince! I didn't want to put this book down! It made me have a different outlook on life! This is my favorite book in the whole world!

A pilot crash-lands in the desert due to a problem with the engine; the young man who as a 6 year-old, abandoned his dream to be an artist after showing a numerous amount of adults his drawing of a “hat” which is actually a drawing of a snake swallowing an elephant. Now he is stuck in the desert, and he meets a little, peculiar little guy who wants him to draw a sheep for him. He is from a different planet, where everything is small. As the pilot tries to get more knowledge of where The Little Prince is from, the little guy embarks on a story of leaving his little asteroid/planet because of his demanding flower, and going on a journey to experience something new. A mysterious classic tale of travel, De Saint-Exupéry captures this little guy’s tale with excellence and beautiful artwork alongside it. My thoughts: The Little Prince was an interesting novel. This is my mom’s favorite book- so I had to read it at some point-as well as a world-known classic. Short at 85 pages, The Little Prince conducts a fantasy that is fun, and mysterious at the same time. I like how for this book you have to sort of decode the paragraphs and make it what you think /want it to be. The ending leaves you a little like, “What happened?” and I think the author wrote it so it ends how you want it to end. I love the artwork; it complements the story very well. I thought this book was sweet and enjoyable, and it is a must-read classic.

Such a classic, I love it. But it is so bad how the author of this book dissapeared while riding a plane, just like amelia earhart. So sad...

This is one of my favorite books about a Little Prince that travels to Earth from another planet. It is about the people he meets along the way and the lessons he learns about life.
