A thin story about one-dimensional characters going out for tacos. This is like the eighth book in a two-series shared universe that I have not been following, and apparently it is not the best jumping-on point, especially since most of the characters don't even get named until the second half of the book.

Meh.

(Best of 2023 Project: I'm reading all the graphic novels that made it onto NPR's Books We Love 2023: Favorite Comics and Graphic Novels list.) (

A wonderful bilingual story about El Toro and all his frineds using their wrestling skills to earn dineros for tacos! Wonderfully illustrated while also teaching literacy in relation to sequential storytelling, this is an excellent book. (
