I loved reading "Le Petit Prince" to my 6 yo son.
I was pretty young myself the last time I read it and I found the experience very different now that I'm on my 30s.
I've read somewhere that you're supposed to read this book 3 times in your life: as a kid, as a young adult and as an older person. Curious to see how it will feel like to read it in 30 years.

That probably goes for many books, though mostly I think of young adult/middle-aged/older as the ages. Certainly The Great Gatsby has read very differently over the years.
