Le petit prince (The Little Prince)

Glad that I found this!

I liked the structuring of this audiobook version. English language being my first language, it was difficult for me to practice my French skills and to understand most of the words. However, I did notice some improvement while practicing my French with this audiobook and will definitely continue to listen to it. Plus the narrator's pronounciation of the words is very clear. Overall, very good audiobook!

Great audio & bilingual version of this epic tale!

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Le Petit Prince is a classic of French literature, I believe it is even one of the most popular French book. It is not only directed to children but adults can also identify to this universal character.

This audio version is great, well done and not annoying or boring at all. The tone of the narrater is pleasant, and the expressions used make it alive. It allows the listener to completely enter in another world and escape reality. I found, as a native French speaker, that listening to the book in French is more authentic, the speed of narration is not too fast.

The English version is a fantastic alternative though, especially if you a non-French speaker. Improve your French skills by combining both versions. I highly recommend to discover the tale of Le Petit Prince through this audio book, it is a timeless story.

Any additional comments?

Such a Classic! An Originally composed story with such brilliance is pretty hard to find these days. I took some French classes in high school but I've never been more interested in the language than now. I learn a lot more and way faster in this 4-hour audiobook. This is a very helpful utility for people looking to get conversational with their French and not just a basic knowledge. Very lovely story and highly informative. A+++ for me!

Great AudioBook! A must in your collection.

What did you love best about Le petit prince (The Little Prince)?

I love this story. I remember when I first read it back when I was only 10 years old. It's such a magical story and this audiobook brings that to live.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Le petit prince (The Little Prince)?

Definitely the beginning of the story. When he drew a picture of a boa constrictor digesting an elephant in its stomach, it’s a really iconic part of the story with a very deep message.

Which scene was your favorite?

When the prince leaves and consoles the narrator by saying that he only need to look at the stars to think of the prince's lovable laughter. It breaks my heart every time.

Any additional comments?

As a native Spanish speaker I remember struggling a lot when I first learned English, and one of the things that really helped out was listening/reading my favorite audiobooks in English to motivate myself to practice and develop my skills. I was so glad to find the audiobook of Le Petit Prince now that I’m learning French. It’s a short story, very easy to understand, the best part is the exquisite pronunciation and the helpful repetition of words because it makes learning vocabulary and verbs easy.

A truly engaging story.

If you could sum up Le petit prince (The Little Prince) in three words, what would they be?

Engaging, manageable, and fun.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Le petit prince (The Little Prince)?

For me it was the little Prince meeting the fox for the first time. Out of all the individuals the little Prince meets, I feel the fox taught him the most. He taught him about what is truly important in life are the things that only the heart can see. This made the little Prince appreciate the rose he left behind even more.

Have you listened to any of Aurore Belle and Shanna Stoker ’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

I have not listened to other performances narrated by these individuals, but based on this one I would love to hear other stories from them in the future. They were clear in their presentation and made it easy for me to understand.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

Adults could use a little bit of imagination once in a while.

Any additional comments?

This was a great short story to help me rekindle my fascination with the French culture. From time to time I have tried teaching myself French; however, sometimes it proves difficult because I do not follow a set structure. This short story was a perfect mix of grammar usage, conjugation, and common words and phrases used daily in France. The difficulty level of this story was also great for me. It was just difficult enough for me to have to sit and think about what the narrator had said, but not too hard that I would end up being discouraged.

Engaging narration with clarity!

Any additional comments?

I found this audio book to be really useful for getting a better handle on French pronunciation. The story is simple enough that you can really focus on the words being used and digesting some of their simpler meanings and the way they are spoken. The narrator really helps with this since she speaks very clearly while still being enjoyable to listen to. I don’t have much experience with French, but this seems to be a simple way to improve my understanding and usage.

Loved it!

This is a very great book! It includes an aspect of realism that leaves you gasping. When it starts to touch on the comparison between an adult's perspective on life and a kids, I could not agree with it any more. Adults look at the side of an event that involves all wealth, while a more young and curious mind comes skipping about they look at all aspects of the event to truly capture the moment. The Little Prince adds an aspect of a curious kid that causes the adult to really think out a well constructed response. This causes the adults that may read or listen to this book to actually hear out a child. This book leaves a message that could be eye opening to an adult. This message is that an adult may not actaully take in the thoughts of a minor unless an inconvenience is holding them back. Some adults will take this to heart and listen in to minors more to open the mind of themselves. 

Overall this is a great book to hear or read, it definitely causes the mind to flow of any individual, a minor or an adult. 


This would be a great book for anyone, and is an entertaining story for a kid to hear, and eye-opening for a busy adult that may not take the time out of their day to listen to a child. 


Sorry for the lengthy review.

Worth the Read!

“I enjoyed the read and the way that it was set up in the app. I am a beginners French learner, but I was able to pick up on most of the words by using the app’s speed settings and slowing the read. I was also able to compare it to the English version after each chapter. It was a great experience! I recommend!”

An Amazing Classic Told in a Special Way

Any additional comments?

This story is a classic and it’s so charming that once you already know it in your own language, hearing the French brings it a whole new touch. Although this is supposed to be a children’s story, I feel like this story is one you’re never too old to enjoy. It brings out your imagination and helps you think of actual philosophical things while being something that’s also easy enough for children to follow along. The voice that’s used for the French is quite lovely and friendly. It doesn’t sound intense at all, instead it sounds happy and it’s pretty easy to follow along if you know some French. Even if your French isn’t great but you’re learning, listening to this audiobook is a great way to practice your listening. The English is cheerful too, the narrator for both the French and English both have very delightful voices. Overall, being able to listen to both the English and French really does help you whenever you’re trying to learn French. Whether you’re trying to learn it yourself or trying to teach your children it, this is a wonderful way to do it that’s easy to follow along and has a very endearing tone to it. No matter what age you are, you’re never too young or old to enjoy Le Petit Prince.
