"Delineated with a delicate touch, the paper engineering adds a new dimension to this wistful fairy tale without overpowering it, enhancing the story’s subtleties and echoing its sense of wonder."--School Library Journal

"This lovely edition boasts the complete original text and illustrations that are also a delight for the eyes."--Entertainment Weekly "While a pop-up edition of de Saint-Exupery's enduring tale may initially seem like a gimmick, the resulting volume is a beautiful piece of bookmaking that actually extends the classic story ... this unabridged volume offers a creative, accessible entree to the timeless story."--Booklist "The pleasing visual effects are subtle, but add an appropriate sense of magic."--Publishers Weekly
