Sadly, I don't remember anything from the book, just some of the drawings. I was too little at that time. If you didn't read this already, I found this info about the book. Looks like it was very influential and had a great following. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Little_Prince

How interesting! I would love to own this dollar bill with the author's picture and the Little Prince on it!

I think eBay would be your best bet to find it, if it's out there. Certainly would be a perfect companion to the book

I can't find it at all! I don't know what to search under! DD: Yes, I would keep it safely in the book, unharmed. That would be awesome, if only i could find it. D;

LOL. Hehe, I know exactly what you mean! I love kids books too... I use to get them at goodwill a lot, but this year the closest goodwill that I feel safe going to alone is 1/2 hr away (actually need to make a trip soon though - weekend, maybe? ). Still I go to a used bookstore and often find similar-quality ones.... Nothin' like what Anna found! HAHA! that's just too much!

Last month I found 100-year-old books at my thrift store. I don't really have a use for them, so it's back to the thrift store they go. Haha. (I always have horrible buyer's remorse) If anybody wants them, let me know by the weekend. Hah.

I just adore old books.. although I really don't need anything right now.. getting ready to move cross-country again = try to get rid of crap, not collect more, LOL. And I totally know what you mean w/ buyer's remorse -- although I've got the WORST pre-buyer's remorse lol... I walk around walmart/target for 2 hours, put tons of stuff in my cart, and then JUST before I go to check out, start putting allllll of it back (can't afford this, dont really need that), just making excuses until I only have a few things left... LOL... it drives my mom and fiancee NUTS! lol

I could get this at Target/Walmart/etc cheaper" ... I am so bad about that!

My mom is like that to, which was great when my brother and I were young, we'd sneak toys, and candy bars for my Dad (he's the only one that really likes them in the family, haha!)
