“Fantastically fun! Your kids will go loco for El Toro!†—Jeff Kinney, author of the Diary of a Wimpy Kid series
The rookie Kid Toro hasn’t won a match in a long time. He loses to every wrestler he fights, from Al “the Crain†Scorpio to Prickly Pear to Burrobot. It feels like he’ll never win again! Luckily, his coach, Ricky Raton, won’t let him give up so easily. As he reminds his young fighter what he does best, Kid Toro starts to realize that, when you get knocked down, getting back up makes all the difference. Tackling Spanish phrases and packed full of humor, these Eisner-nominated early reader graphic novels are essential for readers who want an action-packed story and lots of laughs.
