Ariol #4

A doctor's office has never looked quite this nerve-wracking — on the cover of this 2003 Bayard Poche volume, a confident fox in a white lab coat holds up a syringe with a slightly unsettling grin, while a wide-eyed, anxious Ariol waits in the background, clearly not thrilled about what's coming. Emmanuel Guibert and Marc Boutavant bring their warmly funny animal-world charm to a scenario every young reader will instantly recognize — the dreaded vaccine visit. *Le vaccin à réaction* promises the kind of gentle, relatable humor that makes this series such a delight.
