I read this book to my seven year old son. As we were reading he was so engaged! While I chuckled to myself over the Little Prince's observations of adults and about the folly of adulthood, my son nodded along to The Little Prince's logic as though it was the most sensible thing in the world. The ending caught us by surprise and I bawled my way through the final three pages and then held my son on my lap in a way that he hasn't had me hold him for a long time while he cried. He wants you all to know that while at first it was just a fun adventure the ending breaks your heart 💔
