“What makes the desert beautiful is that somewhere it hides a well.”
A child who meets the little prince for the first time
A beautiful pop-up book dedicated to adults who were once children.

The Little Prince is known as the world's third best-selling book after the Bible and Marx's Das Kapital.
It is said that there are close to 200 books distributed domestically.
Perhaps it is because, whether a child or an adult, after meeting the little prince from the asteroid, one learns the most profound yet simple secret of life.
The most important thing is to see with your heart.
Since its first publication in 1943, The Little Prince has become a bestseller worldwide and has been published in numerous editions, including activity books, pop-up books, and playbooks for children.
Among them, the pop-up book of 『The Little Prince』 published by Munhakdongne is a book that has increased its collection value for long-time readers, and is filled with beauty and joy that will make you exclaim in admiration.
In Professor Kim Hwa-young's complete translation, almost all of the illustrations are made into pop-ups, and each page is equipped with detailed functions.
While other pop-up books only include a few scenes from the original illustrations and abbreviate the text, Munhakdongne's "The Little Prince" pop-up book delivers the emotion of the original text while maintaining the original illustrations, creating a new "The Little Prince" by making the two-dimensional world rise into a three-dimensional world.

Adding a new dimension to the picture, Gerard Lo Monaco, one of today's most creative pop-up book artists, draws on his past experience in stage decoration and composition to create pop-ups by installing small stages within the books and balancing them with the story theme.
"The Little Prince" is imbued with a spirit of craftsmanship that even the author himself can proudly say, "Unlike other pop-up books, it is an unprecedented innovation in the history of pop-up books, considering its length of 64 pages, unique binding technique, and formal virtuosity."
Over the course of three years, he and his team worked together to conceptualize the image, develop movement, execute the drawings, and develop production methods and techniques to complete this magnificent work of art.


In addition to the pleasure of viewing, you can also enjoy the experience of adding flesh and enriching the story by lifting the wings with your hands, pulling the tabs, turning the gears, and touching them, unlike when you encountered the previous two-dimensional version of The Little Prince.
If you lift the wing with the famous hat picture on page 7, a boa constrictor swallowing an elephant will appear, giving the impression that you have lifted the hat.
If you open page 13, you can feel the movement of the stars as the asteroid B612 where the Little Prince is standing spins, and if you pull down the tab of the picture on page 47, the Little Prince who was turned away turns around and faces the fox (the Little Prince who has turned around is in the original picture, but the Little Prince who has turned around is not in the original picture, so you can get a glimpse of the creativity of pop-up book artist Gérard Lo Monaco).
On page 57, you can also try your hand at creating a scene where a yellow snake straightens its upper body towards the little prince sitting on a ruined stone wall.
