Now that my friends have kids who love to read, and I’m the fun aunt who spoils them with books, I’m tracking down all the weird, funny stuff that I loved as a kid, and also reading the books that I never read to see what I missed, and what should be passed along.

This one? It’s a classic? I hope it’s better in French? Even as a kid I would have had none of this book. So no regrets there.

And now here is my secret, a very simple secret: It is only with the heart that one can see rightly; what is essential is invisible to the eye.

I hadn't read this book in such a long time, but it honestly becomes more and more delightful with age. It's in the same category as The Phantom Tollbooth - fantastic, intelligent, whimsical children's literature. Everything about it is perfect: the prose, the illustrations, the story. It resonates with me, and it's so beautifully fantastical. It really has every element a book should have, and it's so short. (Which, honestly, is a nice break from all the novels I've been reading - I still have 400 pages to go in The Casual Vacancy!)

I really do love children's books, I like the philosophical ideas that come through. It really is a classic and I'm glad to have read it.
