The Little Prince by Antoine de Saint-Exupery

So, I was a little skeptical when Kassie claimed I "HAD TO" read this children's book (the original is Le Petit Prince). After reading it, I will have to echo that same sentiment to all perusing this site: you have to read this! I haven't read a book in a long time (if ever) that is so  simply and beautifully told. We often forgot how odd we "grown-ups" can be and the Little Prince's explorations and insights helped remind me that "what is essential is invisible to the eye."
