The Little Prince

This book has a lot in it. Yet, read in a half-hour. I see why so many references made to it: “adults don't understand” “they need things explained” “rushing everywhere” “look inside.” I also see why it wasn't in my childhood library - it's complex, about questioning authority and what is death. My parents would have never given this to us if they had seen it. And definitely not in school. For a kids book, it is too symbolic at times. Plus, too many big words for a kids book.
