Ariol knows he's just like his hero in every way: brave, er...handsome, and...um...tall?

While she's waited in the . . . er, wings hoping Ariol will notice her, this sweet little fly has been cooking up a plan. Mister Cantharide, Bizbilla's dad, is an ophthalmologist. An ophthalmologist is the eye doctor. Ariol wears glasses. And it seems he has an appointment coming up! Bizbilla is all abuzz with impatience; will Ariol finally get the message?

If you're from the neighborhood, you surely know ARIOL, the little blue donkey with round glasses. He's fulfilling his greatest dream today: being invited to Petula's, the young cow he's secretly in love with. But the obstacles are mounting! Petula's dad, a fearsome bull from the South, and Petula's big brother, a sixteen-year-old calf raised by his mother, do their best to run interference. Will Ariol make it to Petula's room, at the end of the hallway on the right, to play Thunder Horse and Princess Filly?

Ariol's best friend, Ramono, is a pig. He's also loud, impulsive, irresponsible, and has a big snout that looks like a light socket. Sneaking into a parking garage to play with fuses, carting grandpa's dog around in a wheelbarrow, wrestling matches with his sister; you may have thought Ariol was trouble enough, but you've never seen Ramono on the loose!

Dance class is in session for donkeys and pigs. Who is all hooves and who has the beat? Ariol’s teacher, Mr. Blunt, joins the dance floor, too, and earns the name “Mad Dog.” Will Ariol’s secret crush Petula the cow dance into his arms or is he one step behind? This is the one dance party you won’t want to miss!

Ariol's schoolteacher Mr. Blunt is top dog. A big spaniel with glasses, he never shaves very well but he's never boring. He always has some nice, little story or game to suggest to make his lessons understandable. In fact, open your notebooks and grab a pencil, you'll see—

It's a new volume of ARIOL focusing on the daily life of the little donkey with the big personality. This time the spotlight is on the Picotin family: Mom, Dad and, of course, Ariol. But don't worry! Ariol's friends like Ramono, Petula and Bizbilla will be stopping by too. Ariol's parents are always happy to welcome his friends in to the house for playdates, snacks or just to say hello. But are they any good at playing "Thunder Horse"? After all, for Ariol, the equine super hero might as well be part of the family! It's another charming installment in the series that has won the hearts of readers everywhere.

Petula is a beautiful cow who smells nice, has pretty hair, and makes Ariol tremble when she's around. And even though Ariol's story so far is almost 400 pages long, he still hasn't worked up the courage to tell Petula that he loves her! Instead, he keeps accidentally saying all the wrong things every time she turns around to talk to him in class. Valiant Ariol is finally ready to make his move. Will he soar like Thunder Horse or plummet like, well, like Ariol? With charming artwork and hilarious vignettes, ARIOL is the perfect series for anyone who started off life as a kid!
