Ariol #16

The cover of this 2020 BD Kids release bursts with pop-star energy, showing a lively group of animal kids — including a blonde dog belting into a microphone, a wide-eyed blue donkey, a small frog, a curly-haired pig, and a bird with an impressive orange beak — all striking exuberant, disco-flavored poses against a swirling pink-and-blue background. The subtitle Naphtaline nous dit toutou puts the spotlight firmly on that charismatic singing dog at the center of the action. Emmanuel Guibert and Marc Boutavant bring their signature warm, rubbery character designs to a cover that practically hums with fun.
