Ariol knows he's just like his hero in every way: brave, er...handsome, and...um...tall?

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?

Ariol's best friend, Ramono, is a pig. He's also loud, impulsive, irresponsible, and has a big snout that looks like a light socket. Sneaking into a parking garage to play with fuses, carting grandpa's dog around in a wheelbarrow, wrestling matches with his sister; you may have thought Ariol was trouble enough, but you've never seen Ramono on the loose!

All of Ariol's friends know that he has a big crush on Petula, but no one seems to notice that Bizbilla has her sights on Ariol, including Ariol! While she's waited in the . . . er, wings hoping Ariol will notice her, this sweet little fly has been cooking up a plan. Mister Cantharide, Bizbilla's dad, is an ophthalmologist.

On her first day at her new school, Anne is saddled with the nickname Anne of Green Bagels, thanks to the health-food sandwich her grandmother has made her for lunch. Can things get any worse? Already her father has left home to try out his newest crackpot invention, the Pedestrian Mobile Home, and her mother has moved them from New Mexico to the cookie-cutter community of Megatown. Then she meets Otto, who shares her interest in music and in her favorite TV show, The Blimptons. Together they prepare to enter the school talent show with an original composition - Wolfman Stomp.
