THE LITTLE PRINCE

THE LITTLE PRINCE

With humour, clever storytelling, and stunning puppetry, The Little Prince invites you to see with your heart.

Adapted from the classic book by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry.

Unlock the wonder of friendship and curiosity in The Little Prince, a timeless story that invites students to explore the world with fresh eyes. This beloved tale will inspire them to keep asking questions and hold on to their sense of child-like wonder.

Follow a curious prince on his journey across the universe to earth. He meets a pilot crash-landed in the desert, a cunning snake, a wild fox and an oddball cast of grown ups.

Your classroom will be alive with conversation as students engage with the story’s humour, clever storytelling, and beautifully crafted puppets. The Little Prince encourages emotional literacy and self-expression in unexpected ways.
