This is my first time reading this book. I'd never heard of it until I saw the movie a few years ago which I thought was a delight. I really enjoyed The Little Prince. The movie does it justice. The book is narrated by an elderly man who met the prince many years before in the desert. I wasn't expecting this and thought the Prince would be the narrator. The Little Prince is delightful. This book can be read like a fairytale with an alien Prince traveling the cosmos, visiting different planets and meeting a strange array of characters. There are also morals and wisdom to be found. The version I read also includes color images which enhance the story.
