Review of 'Le Petit Prince' on 'Goodreads'

2 stars

A blond extra-terrestrial kid ends up in the Sahara desert when visiting Earth for the first time. There he meets a strange grown up man that believes to understand children better than the rest of his generation. This man, with a continuous anti-growing-up speech, is the narrator of the story. Not surprisingly the kid ends up developing suicidal tendencies, but the absence of a corps seems to assure the narrator that he just went back to his original planet. The book has cute drawings and can work as an effective punishment for misbehaved kids.
