Tag Team (El Toro & Friends), written by Raul the Third, reviewed by Judy Hauser

Summary: It is the tag team championship at El Coliseo and El Toro and La Oink Oink are against Danny Dollars and the Bald Aguila. The next day El Coliseo was a mess and the two workers who were supposed to come in to clean the mess left El Toro in the lurch! El Toro, once again, calls on his tag team partner La Oink Oink to help him deal with the messy situation. The illustrations by Elaine Bay are fun, colorful, big and bold and presented in an almost comic book or graphic novel format. The illustrations of El Toro and La Oink Oink cleaning El Coliseo are exciting and make the stars of story look like superheros. The story is about friendship, collaboration, commitment and accomplishing a goal. Young children will enjoy the colorful antics of these bold characters and will get a good dose of what it means to work together. 

Straight Talk for Librarians: A fun book with unique characters. This story is about working together to accomplish, in this case, a huge task.
