‘It’s never too soon to hear that we don’t know what we’ve got till it’s gone, and this pair (and the spirit of Saint-Exupéry) land that message in style.’ – Alex O’Connell, The Times “The first picture book adaptation of the classic fable captures its spirit of poetic mysteriousness with beautifully immersive visuals” – The I ’Retaining the essence of the original story, but pairing it back enough to make it accessible to children makes its key messages shine through. The Little Prince is as charming as ever, and Massini’s artwork superbly captures the surreal world he inhabits. Perfect for curious young readers, it’s a story that will stay with them long after the final page has turned.’ – The Scotsman ‘A thing of beauty, mysterious and poetic both verbally and visually.’ – Red Reading Hub ‘Contemporary but timeless illustrations, a perfect way to bring a classic to the next generation’ – @bookgiftblogger
