Editorial Reviews

VOYA - Suanne Roush
Updated and created with the approval of the Antoine de Saint-Exupery estate, the illustrated series continues with more adventures of the Little Prince, his friend the fox, and his enemy the snake. Leaving his home and friend Rose (an actual rose with a human face) on Asteroid B612, the Prince and Fox travel to planets in his trusty biplane, correcting what Snake and his minions, the Gloomies, have influenced others to do in his goal of universal destruction. The Prince can transform, with the help of stardust, into a more enhanced and formally dressed version of himself, with the ability to speak and understand all the people, plants, and animals. He also has a sketch pad that, when blown on, creates what the Prince needs at the time, be it a lantern or an animal to chew through ropes. Problems are solved easily and make Snake's influence no more substantial than his hissing. The adventures are formulaic: he arrives on a planet, understands the situation with little investigation, talks to a few people who immediately trust him when they trust no one else, finds the culprit, explains Snake's influence, and, with only a momentary backslide, that person helps the Prince restore order—whether it is returning the planets and stars to the sky so plants will grow, giving night globes access to nectar they crave, or peacefully returning free speech to a people. In some instances, there is a person who, without explanation, knows the Prince. Each volume starts with a letter to Rose that very briefly recaps the previous adventure, and each contains a brief sketch of the recurring characters. The illustrations are in color, but most of the characters look alike, and there is very little exposition. An interesting addition in each volume is a "short" of the character as imagined by another artist. Although the vocabulary will challenge a younger reader, the books are appropriate for an elementary audience. Purchase where there is a young audience for graphic novels and where the earlier volumes of the series are available. (The Little Prince) Reviewer: Suanne Roush
