Goodreads

This is the beginning of a new early reader series by Raúl the Third. The series, El Toro and Friends features the luchadores from his previous picture books. The illustrations are full of color and action, and in Raúl the Third’s style, they’re very busy. Some may find this off-putting, some will enjoy the classic comics aspect of the art. The text is minimal, repetitive in vocabulary and features a mix of Spanish and English.

Recommended for confident new readers ages 6 and up. Reviewed by Jessie Trafton, Skidompha Library, Damariscotta, ME
