MY FIRST ARIOL TP (2025)

"Brand new series from multiple award-winning author Emmanuel Guibert (The Photographer) and renowned illustrator Marc Boutavant! Ariol is your everyday tween donkey with blue glasses. He lives in the suburbs with his mom and dad. His best friend is a pig. He's in love with a beautiful cow in his class. His teacher is a dog. His gym teacher is a huge rooster. In short, Ariol is just like you and me. Kids will love the real humor around their lives on this one as they have in many other countries!"

"Ariol knows he's just like his hero in every way: brave, er... handsome, and... um... tall? Well, maybe Ariol has a ways to go, but that's not going to stop him from doing everything he can to grow up and become just like the guardian of the stars! With charming artwork and hilarious vignettes, Ariol is the right series for anyone who ever started off life as a kid!"

"Ariol is a donkey and his best friend Ramono is a pig. One is blue with long ears and big glasses, the other is pink with a snout like a light socket. They may not be similar, but they are friends. This third volume continues Ariol's adventures at home and at school, but also gives us a closer look at his life with his best friend, Ramono."

"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!"

"All of Ariol's friends know that he has a big crush on Petula, but no one seems to notice that Bizzbilla has her sights on Ariol, including Ariol! While she's waited in the wings hoping Ariol will notice her, this sweet little fly has been cooking up a plan. Mister Cantharide, Bizzbilla's dad, is an ophthalmologist. An ophthalmologist is the eye doctor. Ariol wears glasses. And it seems he has an appointment coming up! Bizzbilla is all abuzz with impatience; will Ariol finally get the message? With charming artwork and hilarious vignettes, Ariol is the perfect series for anyone who started off life as a kid!"

"Timberwolf is Ariol's best enemy, an ill-tempered cat always picking a fight, making fun of anything and everybody, even of Thunder Horse! And you know what's worse? Petula likes that obnoxious tomcat! School would be nice and calm, if it weren't for him."

"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!"

"Bouncer, Ariol's rabbit classmate, is the best one at sports (even if he wears a dental device). That's just one typical detail you'll discover in the latest all-new collection of twelve delicately delightful Ariol stories. Ariol, that cute little blue donkey with the big eye glasses, whose best friend is a pig, who is hopelessly in love with a cow, while a fly is equally head-over-heels in love with him (not that he cares). Ariol's ever-expanding universe features many endearing characters that will remind you of your friends and (possibly) your enemies too. After all, Ariol's just a donkey like you and me."

"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!"
