“Outrageously creative! Kids will drink in every imaginative detail in El Toro’s wild world!” —Jeff Kinney, #1 New York Times bestselling author of the Diary of a Wimpy Kid series

From the Eisner Award Nominated World of ¡Vamos! series, Tough Times finds everyone’s favorite young luchador fighting a losing streak in an action-packed, graphic-novel-style El Toro & Friends paper-over-board reader by New York Times bestselling, three-time Pura Belpré Award–winning author-illustrator Raúl the Third.

The rookie Kid Toro hasn’t won a match in a long time. He loses to every wrestler he fights, from Al “the Crane” 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.

  • From the Bestselling Eisner-Nominated Series: The World of ¡Vamos! series, including the El Toro & Friends readers Tag Team, Tacos Today, and more, is a favorite among early readers.
  • Action Packed: This empowering story of hard work and self-confidence is full of action inside and outside the lucha libre ring!
  • A Dual Lingual Read: Spanish words and phrases are integrated into the English story text.
