The little Prince's rose has a cold and to cheer her up the Prince travels around the word to bring back photographs to cheer her up.
Whilst this book is beautifully illustrated, fun and educational for both children and adults I found it hard to read. Maybe I was expecting it to be more of a story, but I felt that it read more like bullet points than a story time book.
Each page was very fact heavy and did not include much about the prince's journey and how he was learning these things about the places he visits from his point of view. I feel that this would have helped the littlest readers enjoy this even if they couldn't fully understand the facts included, whilst still educating the older readers.
I believe I would have enjoyed it more had I known to expect the format it is written in and for this reason I would still recommend this book, but manage expectations whilst doing so. This would be well suited as a learning resource in an educational setting.

Cute little read about the Little Prince cheering up his rose. The illustrations were very soft and cute, and we got some nice details about the places/ landmarks that he visited. I was sad most of the places he visited were the usual popular landmarks but still

This charming book serves as an introduction to The Little Prince for younger children while also taking them around the world and introducing them to a number of famous landmarks. It is an architecture lesson, history lesson, and geography lesson all rolled into one.
I can see this being a hit with the preschool age group but also an asset in elementary classrooms. I would buy it for my architecture-loving younger child.
The following countries are visited in the book: France, England, Italy, Spain, Egypt, United States, Brazil, China, Japan, Australia.

This was a little above my pup level, but I read it and loved it for my nieces and nephews. I could see adding it to their book boxes I send.

I have been loving this range of Little Prince books!
Colourful, interesting and informative, this book is certainly more text heavy for younger readers, which makes it a perfect book to read with an elder.
The facts and information surrounding each landmark is excellent; making the places truly come to life!
I don't frequently see the Sagrada Familia included in children's books - it was a very welcome addition.
The multi-coloured map at the end is a useful introductory learning tool, and helps the child to identify where the landmarks are situated, and could be used to identify where "you" are in comparison to them.
The Little Prince Around the World will strike passion in the youngest readers to explore the many landmarks around the world!

OK, maybe I was biased, hopping to get to read a story with the little prince as the main character, travelling the world, but it wasn't quite that, this was an informative book about certain touristic attractions all over the world and the little prince is mentioned in the first page and in the last… I would give a better rate if it had more of a travel through all the places, with a photo of the little prince to show his rose, or with his rose. instead of a generic description.
If you pick this book expecting a story to read to the little ones, is not right, and even if you want to know more about the different destinations, maybe it would be better to pick another book about that, this one is kind of lacking, again they just show one or two things in each place, and give a basic description of when it was built and sometimes who did what description, but again, quite short and basic…
thank you NetGalley for the free ARC and this is my honest opinion.

An architectural journey around the world with the little prince and the rose. No context as to why the Prince visited these destinations however interesting facts of these monuments were given. Read alone book with colourful illustrations that opens the world to young learners in bite size pieces. Many thanks Netgalley.

Once again, I think this book is way too long. The little prince is just used as advocate instead of really going with the beloved little prince stories that have been around forever. This book sets out to showcase architectural greatness across the world, but it focuses on very common things like the Sydney Opera House the Great Wall of China, Christ the Redeemer, etc.. Overall, it is interesting but at the same time kind of a disappointment. I would much rather have the little prince then all the info dumping.
