I was lucky to have gotten my hands on a copy of the third book, and I also backtracked and read the first book. I love the story and art so much, and so I was glad to see (I forget in which interview) that they have nine books planned altogether. The story is good, but there's something about the art that has thoroughly caught me. I really think kids here in the US would love it, absolutely gobble it up. It's a shorter book but something about the pacing and scope reminds me a lot of Bone, which must be the most popular graphic novel for kids in schools and libraries, so I hope people here give Les Enfants the same amount of attention.
Poor little purple bunnies... they're what first caught my eye and got me reading book 2 :)
