My favorite book when I was a child has been
the same during many years. It is because the first time that I read it I only
understand de basic aspects from the story. However, I wanted to read it again because
it was a fairy tale plenty of fantastic elements that I liked. By this way, I
understand the tale more than before and I felt the necessity to read it again
and again and again. This book is known in whole world: “The Little Prince”.
Antoine de Saint Exupery wrote it and spoke about different items that adults
forget and, sometimes, need to remind. And he did it by a fairy tale for children.
Nevertheless, if an adult read it being an adult, I am sure that he or she will
reflect on the book and will feel like a child.
“The Little Prince” narrates the adventures of
a child, who comes from a planet, far away. His size was the same as a little
box. When he arrived to our planet, he met an air pilot in the middle of the
Sahara’s desert, whose plane had fallen there because of an accident. That
child, called The Little Prince, spoke to the air pilot about all his life experiences
and his way of thinking: his planet, his rose, the problems with the baobabs
and the six planets which he visited before arrive to the Planet Earth. I have
to say that this child not only met here to the air pilot, moreover he met a
fox and a snake, who taught him the love and friendship’s importance.
If you want to know more details, I invite you
to read it with your children. If you haven’t read it yet, you and they will
love it.
