Excellent book! Go to your public library, and if you enjoy it enough to purchase it, take a look at your major booksellers, Amazon.com, or Ebay.

The Little Prince is definitely one of my all-time favourite books. I read it (the English version) for the first time when I was around 15 and I cried buckets at the end. I've since been told that it's not a sad ending; that the Little Prince didn't really die, yet it's still hard not to feel just a tad melancholic even when I read it now. I highly recommend the book. There are so many meaningful phrases in there. It's a book that is thoroughly enjoyable regardless of age. :)

If you mean 'The Little Prince' by Antoine de Saint-Exupery, yes, it's worth praising and reading. I read its translated English version so if you can read French, you should better understand why it's worth praising. However, reading its English one is all right for you to grasp the 'message' its author wanted to convey.
You'd love the whole story, I remember the prince said something like we live in a shell of life. Philosophically speaking, it's true and one's next queries should be "What is life?" or "How should one do so that his/her life's worth living?"

It really impressed me as a child when I read it. I should read it again. I do have to praise an author who writes in such a way that it leaves a decades long impression. There are many books I read that same year that I don't remember at all.

one of my favorites when i was a kid... =)
that's a classic.
I just love little prince and his innocence. He sees the world as it is. I love the characters! And of course lets not forget the lessons that comes with it ...
"It is only with the heart that one can see rightly; what is essential is invisible to the eye." --- thats a quote i have memorized from childhood.
