Don't waste your money on this one. I am a big fan of "The Little Prince," and this fails to satisfy my expectations. I have a small child and I wanted her to be able to hear a simple version of this book. The story is way to simple and the pictures don't "grab" a young audience (an audience that would require board books in the first place). The compilation of books is haphazard in nature. I don't know who will be the audience for this book. Fans of The Little Prince will find this selection disappointing and new audiences will wonder what the fuss is over the story, and that would be a real shame. There is no message in this selection of simple books. The box is beautiful and the books appear to be well made. It will make a pretty "literary" accessory on my child's bookshelf...but sadly...that is about it.

Love the story of "The Little Prince" and love board books - our son is 1 year old, after all. But really! -Do these books have to be so thin? The only book in the set that is almost worth having is the "I am the Little Prince" with the French/English translations. These little books are not engaging in any way and though they attempt to be with the tabs in "Friends of the Little Prince" and the flap that covers the stars in "Counting with the Little Prince", they are not worth the price. They are almost decorative or probably more of a collection piece than they are for children to be introduced to this sweet story.

The illustrations are charming, but this board book set engenders no interest from my 4 yr old grandson. Maybe, because of all the glitzy toys out there and newer books, it is outdated.

I gave this collection to my grandson for his 2nd birthday. He loves it and requests it every night for his bedtime story. This is the only book he holds while my daughter reads it more than once per night. I think the soft colors and simple story read in English and French must be pleasing and comforting to him.

This is a great set for toddlers and above. My son loves to read all the books before bed as they are the perfect length for his attention span. The only thing I wish is that all 4 books were in French and English instead of just the one.

Its really a great book because it deals how a man should treat another by being nice and kind to it.We are all born equal and we may not understand at first but we can try to learn how others may think by putting ourselves on their situation.
