Have you ever tried to read the Little Prince to small children? Then you will soon have noticed that it doesn't work. Like Antoine de Saint-Exupéry's little hero, you have to have experienced a little bit of the world before the fabulous story becomes accessible to you. The children's author Isabel Pin has now undertaken to retell essential elements of the story for children of preschool age and in the phase of their own first attempts at reading in a language accessible to them. Together with the author's drawings, the book offers a wonderful introduction to Saint-Exupéry's world of thought and prepares them for reading the original translation.
