The
Little Prince: Board Book Gift Set I love this! The grown ups took some of the drawings of my books and made four books for little children! In the books, kids can see what I do on one regular day at my planet and learn to count stars and Baobabs.

As my friend Antoine said, "grown-ups never understand anything by themselves, and it is tiresome for children to be always and forever explaining things to them." It's surprising to me that it took sixty years for someone to come up with this idea! Now we finally have a way to explain to a grown-up small parts of my story. |

The Little Prince - Interactive Book This is just awesome! You can visit my planet on your computer. It has games and activities, even one in which you have to help me pull Baobabs out of the ground and take care of my rose.

The Little Prince - as told by Richard Gere and Young Osment Just another way to enjoy my story, with the added advantage of getting to hear "If you please - draw me a sheep," exactly the way I told Antoine. Maybe you can play it in the car while your mom or dad are driving, so you can show them what is important and be there in case they have a question (and they'll have plenty - you know how hard it is for grown-ups to understand). |

Le Petit Prince - Narrated by Marc-Andre Grondin My story told in French. It's neat to hear the story in the original language, the way it was told for the first time. Although I have no idea who's that boy in the picture! |

The Little Prince - with Gene Wilder, Bob Fosse and Richard Kiley. Directed by Stanley Donen. Music by Alan Jay Lerner and Frederick Loewe. Since I don't have movie theaters in my planet, I'll let my friend Manuel write the description of this one. The first time I saw this movie I was a bit, well, surprised. If you've never seen it, it unexpectedly hits you with a rather surreal approach to the story. Musically surreally, that is, since they made it as a musical, with some of the dance sequences as if designed by Dalí himself. After you get over the shock, though, it becomes a very enjoyable way to follow the Little Prince's story. It kept the spirit of the book and it's a great way to get smaller children acquainted with the story. It features great talent. Stanley Donen also directed "Singin' in the Rain" and "Seven Brides for Seven Brothers." The guys who wrote the music also wrote the scores for several musical movies, including "My Fair Lady," "Gigi" and "An American in Paris."

A la Découverte Du Petit Prince: An Enrichment Workbook for Exploring Languages and Themes This
is a book for people that are trying to learn French as they're
reading my story. Some teachers have told me that it helps small
kids get better in French and better understand the things that
are important from my journey. |
|
 |
Le Compagnon Du Petit Prince: Cahier D'Exercises Sur Le Texte De Saint-Exupery Also for students of French, a book with exercises and class activities. I know, children, that homework is not fun. But since you have to do it anyway, it may as well be about my story instead of, say, having to read the entire dictionary or something else grown-ups would think is the reasonable thing to do. |
