The Journey of The Little Prince is a lovely and well written interactive discussion/activity plan with questions for analyzing The Little Prince written and collated by Corinne Delporte. Released 4th April 2023 by Chouette on their CrackBoom Books imprint, it's 22 pages and is available as a boardbook. 

This excellent small book features the timeless beloved illustrations from The Little Prince. Referring to the original book, this book features questions inviting readers/facilitators/teachers to help their students explore their own feelings and interact at a deeper level. 

This is not an alternative version of the original. It's set up more as an interactive lesson plan with questions inviting readers to contemplate their own feelings about things which happen in the original story.

Five stars. Obviously beautifully illustrated, as it uses some of the original illustrations, but additionally it's full of introspective questions and prompts to involve the youngest readers in learning to appreciate great classic literature.

Five stars. It would be an excellent choice for public or school library acquisition, homeschooling use, home library, and gift giving. Text throughout is in English.

Disclosure: I received an ARC at no cost from the author/publisher for review purposes.
