Ariol #8

Three donkeys sharing a red sofa — a laid-back adult in sunglasses and a tracksuit, wide-eyed young Ariol clutching a plate of cake, and a relaxed teenage donkey curled up beside him — make for a wonderfully cozy party scene on this Emmanuel Guibert and Marc Boutavant cover. Colorful bunting, a red balloon, confetti, and streamers scattered across a bright purple background set the festive mood perfectly. *Les trois baudets* ("The Three Donkeys") is a warm, funny slice of everyday life that makes this 2013 BD Kids volume an easy recommendation for fans of all ages.
