Le Petit Prince vs Holes

Saint Exupéry, c'est parfait. Le Petit Prince, Vol de nuit, Courrier Sud, Terre des hommes, all somewhat similar and simple.

Le Petit Prince, Le petit Nicolas

Parent context: Would Le Petit Prince warrant a mention? Think it’s the most translated book in the world bar the by the bible perhaps. Though it’s aimed at kids, I read it recently as an adult and I loved it. Very sweet book full of hope and wonder. Reply: I'm pretty sure it's actually aimed at adults, or rather at children they used to be. And in my experience adults actually enjoy it more than kids do.

i’m reading "le petit prince", ie "the little prince", in french - and im also only at a rather intermediate level. it’s short, it’s mostly pretty simple language and it was originally written in french so it’s nice to read the original version.

The one book I've most often seen recommended for beginners is "Le petit prince", so that might be worth checking out.

Holes. I just loved when I discovered that the film was such faithful adaption of the book.

This one for sure! Opened my eyes a ton when I was around that age

Holes by Louis Sachar

Loved you in Holes, you made the story more real and fun to watch.

Holes is a fun kids movie that is also a great film, no reason to dilute it.
