Book Reviews of The Little Prince Deluxe Pop-Up BookBook Review: A classic just got better. Summary: 5 Stars
I was initially a bit skeptical when I heard that my favorite book would be published in a pop-up edition. I've always felt that many pop-up books are more novelty than a genuine expression or variation of one of the oldest art forms. Being that The Little Prince is my favorite book, however, I purchased it anyway.
I must admit that part of my skepticism came from my doubts about how well the simple and elegant illustrations from this classic would translate into pop-up art. Were they detailed enough? Interesting or intricate enough to make it worth it? I had thought, in my sadly limited imagination, that the illustrations would not make awe-inspiring pop-ups. As you've already surmised, I was sorely mistaken.
The book, presented unabridged (thank God!) adds another dimension to an already deep and beautiful story. To see the book and its unforgettable characters come to life is a delight. Even some of the more simple illustrations get lifted to another level by the clever designer(s) who had a hand in this book. My favorite passage is Chapter VI when the Little Prince reveals to our narrator how he loves sunsets and once saw forty-four in one day. The chapter is brief and sad, and the illustration that accompanies it equally so. To be able to make the sun set myself (and then to watch it rise again on the other side of his planet) was an exercise in simple joy.
If you love this story or know someone who does, I highly recommend this book. The pop-up pages aren't a novelty; they're an extension of an already treasured and lovely story for both children AND grown-ups.
