From Booklist:

The Little Prince and Fox continue on their journey to save the universe from Snake. In this episode, the inhabitants of the planet Voltaine have lit up their city in an effort to protect themselves from the Globes, eyeball-shaped creatures that only come out after dark. But are the Globes really dangerous, or is the street-lamp seller up to no good? Still strong on artwork and light on character development, the Little Prince series is best for fans of Saint-Exupéry’s classic story and those who know the prince from previous volumes of the graphic-novel adaptations. Includes a bonus story by Olivier Supiot. Grades 2-5. --Eva Volin
