Verwarrend genoeg is dit boek blijkbaar in het Nederlands in twee delen uitgebracht. Geen idee waarom. Maar gegeven de boekenprijzen, misschien meer geld? XD
In dit boek volgen we een jongen genaamd Ariol die een ezel is en zijn zijn andere dierenvrienden. Zoals Ramono het varken die vaak streken uithaalt en soms best ranzige ook. Of Petulia een koe waar Ariol verliefd op is. En zo zijn er nog meer karakters. De verhalen zijn gewoon dagelijkse dingen of dromen die Ariol heeft. Vaak komt daarbij het karakter Superpaard, een serie waar alle (nou ja, bijna alle) kinderen van houden. Ik vond het erg leuk allemaal geschreven en ook de art vond ik leuk. Ik hoop dat de volgende delen ook worden uitgegeven (en dan graag in 1 keer).

This was funny, like, 25% of the time: when Ariol changes in his bed because it's cold (hits a bit close to home) and when everybody starts running with him when all he wants to do is be alone with Petula. Oh! And that Petula's mom calls her "moo moo". I would maybe rec this to tweens who are really into comic collections (like Garfield and Calvin and Hobbes). I didn't love it as much as other comic collections, but I am old and jaded.

Maybe it's just me or starting slow so I'll give the second one a look.

Hahah aww, poor little Donkey! A fun and sweet comic about Arild, a donkey with his own problems, like wanting to be a superhero horse aaand marrying a cow. Yes. But its really well done and hillarious at times.

Was bothered by Ariol's obnoxious personality until I remembered he is supposed to be a "tween" donkey (Guibert kinda nailed it, then). Overall, felt mostly "meh" about Ariol and his band of semi-annoying/oddly-named friends.

Three and a half stars. Very sweet and at times very odd in a French kind of way. A silly yet serious graphic novel that doesn't talk down to kids.
