mary, because there is not a lot of children’s literature that is critically acclaimed in france. plus, stExp is considered a huge figure in france… he and the little prince and his sheep were the main focus of the 50francs note as well.
also, he died tragically in 1942 when he enlisted in the army and his plane was shot down. which gives him that whole “hero” factor.
Funnily enough, the only Real French Book I ever read in school was Camus’ L’Etranger – a laugh riot for teenagers everywhere. I finally broke down and read The Little Prince on my own initiative just before Christmas. I think I liked it better.
Antoine de St. Exuperachnid?
That was beautiful.
Makes me wanna say “Read it to me agaaaaaain!”
I never understood why I had to read Le Petit Prince in every French class I ever took. Please offer an explanation.

Is the planet getting bigger or is the Bug getting smaller?
I keep asking myself the same question.
