A brave and striking adaptation of the classic philosophical tale, the treatment of this version of The Little Prince by Antoine de Saint-Exupery has been sensitively handled and the translation of the inspirational story into graphic novel form is successful. Beautifully produced, this is a gift for Christmas campaigns which should be a hit with the adult graphic novel market too. -- Lindsey Stainer * The Bookseller *

What a wonderful idea...A book that defies age and genre and demands re-reading. -- Inbali Iserles * The Independent on Sunday *
Sfar's art is bright and full of life, simple and occasionally grotesque when Saint-Exupery's allegory calls for it. This adaptation is a fine way to revitalise the magic and wisdom of the little prince. * The Irish Times *
The classic story is given a dramatic reinterpretation in this superb graphic novel. Striking a balance between faithfully representing the original story with it's gentle philosophical message, and creating an original narrative is risky - but this captivating version breathes fresh life into a story that many young readers nay have missed , and many older ones will want to revisit in this new format. * Daily Mail *
A beautiful, poignant and often very funny book as you'd expect from the creator of RABBI'S CAT, this adaptation of Antoine de Saint-Exupery's classic won the Youth Essential Prize 2009 at Angouleme, and deservedly so. * Page 45 *
