Ariol: Where's Petula? (Ariol, 11) - Tapa blanda

If you're from the neighborhood, you surely know Ariol, the little blue donkey with round glasses. He's fulfilling his greatest dream today: being invited to Petula's, the young cow he's secretly in love with. But the obstacles are mounting! Petula's dad, a fearsome bull from the South, and Petula's big brother, a sixteen-year-old calf raised by his mother, do their best to run interference. Will Ariol make it to Petula's room, at the end of the hallway on the right, to play Thunder Horse and Princess Filly?
