Ariol #13

The cover of this BD Kids volume bursts with musical energy — Ariol the blue donkey bangs a tambourine, a green duck friend plays flute, and a pink pig companion strikes a triumphant pose, all three dancing together against a warm golden background surrounded by colorful floating music notes. Emmanuel Guibert and Marc Boutavant bring their signature loose, joyful linework to *Le Canard calé*, and the sheer fun radiating off this cover makes it easy to see why the series has such devoted young readers. A cheerful, rhythm-filled addition to the Ariol collection from 2017.
