Ariol the donkey is back in ARIOL #4: A BEAUTIFUL COW. The stories in this collection are:

"A Night at Grandpa Hoofer and Granny Annette's" – Ariol and his best friend Ramano spend the night at Ariol's grandparents.

"A Bad Flu" – all of Ariol's classmates become concern when they hear about a possible outbreak of the avian flu.

"Where Are the Keys" – On his way to school, Ariol loses his keys and Ramano helps him search for them.

"A Visit from Uncle Petro" – Ariol's uncle Petro (his mother's brother) comes for a visit at lunch.

"The Machine for Being the Best in Class" – Ramano brings a device made from a pencil sharpner to class so that he can cheat.

"Tagging" – An older student, JP, teaches Ariol how to "tag" (put graffiti on a building).

"Dong" – Ariol and Ramano wander around in a church when they make a stop there with Ariol's Granny.

"Disco Queen" – Ariol's mom finds her old record player and her and Ariol start dancing to old vinyl albums.

"Fleas" – Students in Ariol's school are concerned that there might be an outbreak of fleas.

"Smile!" – It's picture day at Ariol's school.

"No Luck, Ariol!" – Ariol hurts himself playing soccer.

I really enjoy the Ariol comics. They have a nice balance of humor and real-life elements. I look forward to reading more books in the series.
