Different, clever, beautifully written. A wonderful little piece of literature with some thought provoking insights inside.

For such a short story, The Little Prince is incredibly sad and touching. Way beyond a children's read I think.
"Grownups never understand anything by themselves, and it is tiresome for children to be always and forever explaining things to them"
“And now here is my secret, a very simple secret: It is only with the heart that one can see rightly; what is essential is invisible to the eye.”
“The most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or touched, they are felt with the heart.”
All that's really need is some quotes.

More like 3.5… What an interesting choice for a book for children… it was strange, and kinda sad, and the kids weren’t great fans of it overall. It was my first time reading it too, and I think I missed out on the classroom discussion of it all.
