BOOK REVIEW
1. The little Prince was written and illustrated by the French writer Antoine de Saint-Exupery during world War II. It is a children fantasy book, but it is also enjoyed by adults.
2. It tells a story about a pilot who has crashed in the desert. While he is trying to fix his aeroplane, a little price comes to him. Visiting from another planet, the little price recounts his adventures to the pilot, and the two become friends.

3. The book talks about the importance of looking beneath the surface of things to uncover their real meanings. I like it because it is simple, and yet it really made me think a lot about life and death, love and responsibility, friendship and loneliness. One of the most memorable characters in the book is a rose, which the little price fell in love with. I was really touched by the line- “It’s the time you spent on your rose that makes your rose so important.”-because it shows how we form special bonds with others by caring and taking responsibility for them.
4. Personally, I think this is a touching book that everyone should read, whatever their age.
