Product Details
Age Range: 5 - 8 years
Hardcover: 48 pages
Publisher: Farrar, Straus and Giroux (BYR) (May 27, 2014)
Only the remarkable Peter Sis could write about Antoine de Saint-Exupery with the same gentle touch as the pilot himself. The book's beauty is indescribable. Page after page, we accompany Antoine on his life's journey. When the page is turned, the blood of the Germans' assault on France is doused by the blue of the ocean and the glow of the moon. From the whimsy of Manhattan's alligator pose to the glistening rise of an image of THE LITTLE PRINCE on the following pages--I catch my breath with its beauty. Beyond that, it's a great true story of a pilot with a dream. Sis has taken us as close to the "glittering planet next to the stars" as we can go in this life. (Lift the book jacket to discover the embossed airplane. This sort of detail is rarely found in contemporary books.)

As a pilot and one who has read Saint-Exupery's work, I thought it would be great for may 6 year old granddaughter. I was wrong and then noted that the format was perhaps confusing for her. Her older sister of 10, strong reader was not very impressed either. Perhaps I was not able to match the age grouping. At 74, I thought it was OK but then again, as a pilot perhaps I could understand the interesting and intense feelings of the subject. JP

Gorgeous book, and wonderful stories. My 6 year old wants to be a pilot and this book was so much fun for him to read. What an adventurous life Saint-Exupery lived! The illustrations and text are written in fun and beautiful ways. It was like reading a dream. Really beautiful book, would also be a great gift for a child.

Gorgeous. Bought with The Little Prince and read back to back. Illustrations are enlightening in themselves, even more than the text. Totally enjoyable and whimsical art.

An intelligent book that arouses curiosity and engages the reader in a bit of geography and history. The book regards France and flying airplanes as they developed.

Loved this book for the unique artwork and the incredible man the book depicts, the Little Prince incarnated. I'd recommend it to all children And Adults wishing to be the explorers of their life.
