When I was a child I felt in love with “The Little Prince”

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.
