Ariol #1: Just a Donkey Like You and Me - Softcover

"Definitely on the Wimpy Kid bandwagon, but less vicious with the satire and therefore all the more welcome." --KIRKUS "Whether Ariol is joining his father for a trip to the ATM, arguing with a friend about sneakers, accompanying his grandmother to the movies, pursuing his great crush, or emulating his favorite superhero, the author dares to depict the exclusionary, argumentative, self-centered ways children can sometimes behave, without giving up an iota of their charm." --BOOKLIST "I dare you to put it down once you start, and you'll agree, Ariol is the new kid in town for reluctant readers." --KID LIT REVIEWS
