Le Petit Prince (French Edition) Paperback – March 20, 2012

Il s'agit d'un ouvrage qui nous connecte avec nos enfant intérieur, qui nous fait rêver avec le cœur, il est simplement merveilleux.

I am so happy with this copy of Le Petit Prince published by nrf Gallimard!It took about 7-10 days to arrive which is okay for me since this is a Christmas present for my son. The book is a hard cover inside a hard cover sleeve. It was shipped in bubble wrap to protect the hardcover sleeve. Beautiful artwork! All in color too. (Sorry no picture of the artwork. I didn’t want to crease the pages.)I felt I did a lot of research on the perfect copy. And I’m very happy with this one. I was specifically looking for The Little Prince in French. Published by nrf Gallimard. I wanted a hard cover. And I wanted it all in color. - This is it! I wish I could give it a ten stars!

I first met The Little Prince in a college French class and my love for him has continued to grow for almost half a century since. For "les enfants" who meet him, he's wonderful, but grown ups need to remember that what is most important is invisible to the eye so grow and age with our mutual friend.My husband and I take our friend with us on every trip, reading a chapter aloud together, noting where we are when we read. We finish and then begin again for voyages with The Little Prince are never the same. We also collect a version of the book in the language of different countries we visit.I could add many meaningful encounters with him, but one he gave me will always speak to my heart. Thirty years ago when my dear sister was far from me and in the final weeks of her battle with cancer, I would read it aloud to her over the phone -- once again just a chapter or two each time. As we neared the end and the Little Prince gave that wonderful gift of a star to the pilot, she stopped me and said "You know, from my bed I can't see the stars tonight, but I can see the moon. So tonight I want to give you a gift.. I'm going to give you the moon. Now every time you see it you'll know that we are connected and although at first you may be sad, eventually you will smile and my read wish is that you will begin to look up at the moon and laugh because you'll know we are joined together -- and people around you may look at you funny and ask why you are laughing at the moon -- but you'll just tell them it was a gift from The Little Prince and your big sister.. "Ce qui est important est invisible aux yeux."

A good French classic, If you're planning to use it to learn or practice French, you can, but make sure you understand the past tense at least

I love this book.

A classic French children’s book used in many course for learning the French language. I reread it to practice and refresh a bit on some idioms. A cute tale with lessons to be learned and a moral to be told, it serves its purpose.

It is novel written with exquisite taste, beauty, and love. Each time we read it, we learn more of what humanity can become, and we are still missing.

Une histoire simple mais réellement profonde. Excellent pour ceux qui pratiquent le français à niveau de base. Un classique hautement recommandé.
