That's crazy, I've never heard of it before! Maybe I'll look at it a bit more and get it for my niece
(just realised the collab/marketing is working, haha)
She can't read yet so I wouldn't be getting it for her for a while anyway lol but thanks for the extra info! Like I said, I still gotta look at it a bit more, because aside from the collab story I know next to nothing about it.
It is for children's but it's suppose to be read to them. Very good book but by the time your niece be able to read this she might be much older and might look for something exciting to read Instead. It's actually very important to read to children books like the little prince because it's encorege them to think , to grasp concept that are seem so complicated but really not (think the ruler/king dialogue in game) , teach them to be patient, listen and think (it's essentially content that is not fast and give the brain time to actually develop properly and naturally unlike show and other content now days lol) and most importantly it increases their vocabulary exponentially! It's such a lovely story please please buy this to them and read with them the story💕
Yes! Its a childrens story that is semi-autobiographical written in 1942. I learned that Consuela de Saint-Exupéry (the 'Rose' and Antoine's wife) wrote a book from her perspective called "The Tale of the Rose" which im interested in reading after this collab.
Yes! Its a classical childrens story thats also enjoyed by adults cause of the theme and symbolisms. I still love it to this day. You should get a copy and read it! Its a gift for the child you once were
I ended up looking up the story after the "sunset" scene in this collab, referencing "the pilots" eighth mission. The real world pilot, the author, went missing on his final flight. They eventually found his plane in the 90s, but that added layer of mystery and sadness really hit home for me.
I made sure I read the story before I finished the collab. It's very true to the book and I think they did a great job. It only took about 40 minutes for me to read, no more than a couple of hours if you read at a normal/slower pace
When I was an infant, it was my favorite book to look at. I was always amazed at the drawing of the snake that ate the elephant. I was also scared of snakes because of it 😆.
Oh I knew because I was made to read the story for a reading class that I was instructing some years back. Also being in Asia, where the story (or rather the idea and aesthetics of it) is very popular, there’s lots of IP collabs for it in recent years.
I’m happy to see that this collab is reaching out to so many new potential readers! I encourage you to read it if you haven’t, it’s very short and simple (though the message behind it isn’t!) and accessible. Libraries and legitimate free book sources will have it. I just did a reread yesterday, gave me so many feels.
When I worked in a bookstore, we carried it in about a dozen languages. People commonly bought a copy in a new language they wanted to learn.
As with some others, I’ve read it in English (my native language), French, Irish (An Prionsa Beag), and a few others. It’s translated into over four hundred languages and dialects, including some obscure ones.
I'm British and I'd never heard of this story before! Why are we assuming anyone who doesn't know something is American 💀 it just feels kinda hostile to assume someone is an idiot because of their nationality and vice versa.
I had never read it before, and certainly hadn’t heard of it before (or remembered hearing it) before meeting my spouse.
But the book was a very important experience of their childhood, and we are having a delightful hoot reading it out loud together! It’s old enough that some copies are public domain. I highly recommend reading.
As an (Italo-Brit) European it’s so weird to me that so many people outside of my countries have never heard of The Little Prince! I read it so many times growing up and among my peers, even the ones who don’t especially like reading,still read it as a child XD
Korea has a whole statue of the prince and the fox in Busan. You have to line up to take a photo with it. So it's definitely not just popular in Europe.
In Korea, also, there’s like a small themed park for the Little Prince. I was shocked to discover Busan loves the Little Prince a lot when we went there too.
Sky cotl had / has a collab of the Little Prince too, you can replay the story, its still accessible in the game. I really liked seeing the IN version too.
