Petula is pretty and she smells so good! In class, Ariol sits right behind her and in his thoughts, he showers her with compliments. He even tells her that he loves her. But strangely, as soon as Petula turns around and speaks to him, he can't get a word out. This can't be true! Why is it so difficult for a little donkey to like a sweet cow? Emmanuel Guibert and Marc Boutavant have created a character in Ariol that young readers can truly identify with.
