Ariol #9
The Teeth of the Rabbit
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.

'Ariol #9: The Teeth of the Rabbit' by Emmanuel Gulbert with art by Marc Boutavant is a series of 12 stories of these characters. I was unfamiliar with them, but I had absolutely no trouble reading this with no prior knowledge of the series.
All the characters are animals. Ariol is a donkey. His friend Bouncer is a rabbit. Ariol has a crush on Petula, the cow, but Bizzbilla, the fly has a crush on him. Ariol likes to pretend he is his fantasy hero Battleness (especially when he needs to be brave). The stories are all about the kind of situations that young children face or have fun with. They have to conquer their fear of heights, or decide if they are going to open the hidden presents they find. They trick their parents into taking them out for fast food, against their parents wishes, and generally play around with blanket forts and pretend.
I really liked these little characters and they way they get along and play. Ariol is kind of clumsy and silly, just like a real child. His friend Bouncer has way too much energy, just like some little kids. I think young readers would enjoy these characters, and maybe even see themselves in them.
I received a review copy of this graphic novel from Papercutz and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this graphic novel.

Bright, colorful stories of Ariol, the blue donkey character, and his friend Ramono, a pig, and others in his fourth grade class. Stories of waiting to watch the Tour de France, with his grandparents, and watering friends from the balcony, because the day is hot, and playing miniature golf, and then having a war. Ariol is a lively young boy donkey, and I think his adventures will appeal to kids. Slightly naughty, but lovable.

So many hilarious, sweet little scenes where I can totally identify with Ariol. Love this book, and as always, Emmanuel Guibert's warm humanity.

From the first page I knew this would be 5 stars. I started reading this series when I was in 3rd grade and so my love for it has always stayed and this rating is more love and nostalgia than anything.

This is number nine and is also just as good as the others.

The little French girl on the train next to me was so excited about this book that I had higher expectations.
