The Little Prince (Reading Guide Catalog for Primary and Secondary School Students)

Saint-Exupéry lived and died for airplanes. To readers of all sizes around the world, his greatest fame comes from The Little Prince. "The Little Prince" is not a children's literature work in the general sense. The author clearly stated: "The Little Prince" is "a fairy tale written for adults." This is strange. Fairy tales, in their original meaning, are written for children to educate them. On the contrary, "The Little Prince" is an enlightenment book written for adults to educate adults. Of course, children will also benefit from reading it. Not only will they benefit, but they can also find self-confidence from the absurd behaviors of adults. This most widely circulated fairy tale in the 20th century has been translated into more than 100 languages ​​since its publication in 1943, including many local languages ​​and dialects. It has also been made into movies, screened and recorded. "The Little Prince" is still one of the most popular best-selling novels in the world.
