The Little Prince & the Rose

This is a simplified chapter book adaptation of Antoine de Saint-Exupéry's timeless classic, "The Little Prince," specifically designed for younger learners and English Language Teaching (ELT) classrooms. The story follows a curious young prince who leaves his small planet and a beloved, demanding rose to journey across the cosmos. He encounters various peculiar adults on different asteroids before landing on Earth, where he meets a pilot stranded in the desert, a wise fox, and a snake. Through these encounters, the prince learns about the true meaning of friendship, love, responsibility, and the importance of looking beyond appearances. The narrative gently explores themes of loneliness, connection, and the unique value of what one has tamed. Its accessible language makes it an excellent choice for building reading fluency and vocabulary in children aged 4-11, while still retaining the poignant charm of the original.

Extensive reading is essential for improving fluency and there is a real need in the ELT classroom for contemporary, low-level reading material for younger learners.The Little Prince lives on a very small planet. Then he flies away and his rose is sad. Where does the Little Prince go? Who does he meet? And can he go back? A beautiful adaptation of the popular story.
