Raúl offers a lesson in visual literacy, utilizing speech bubbles and panels in addition to traditional narration." --<i>Booklist, </i>STARRED review <p/> ★ "A generous touch of giddy surrealism continues to make Raúl the Third's faunal milieu a destination, lovingly detailed in frenetic compositions and Bay's SweeTart-hued digital colorization. Exercise and toilet cleaning are rarely this much fun." --<i>The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books</i>, STARRED review <p/> ★ "Simple sentences and recognizable--yet entirely fresh and original--plot structures set up young readers for accomplishment. Visual and linguistic whirls and twirls match the fast-paced tempo of lucha libre, serving up dazzling Chicano English....This pizzazz echoes throughout the chillante palette of matte violet, teal, and orange hues, animating the dynamic motion lines in comic-book-style drawings, rewarding attentive eyes and ears with endless detail and inside jokes."--<i>The Horn Book</i>, STARRED review <p/> "As in the World of ¡Vamos! books, the creator, alongside colorist Elaine Bay, utilizes comics-style layouts and an eye-catching, lightly faded color palette.... lively banter and humorous illustrations make for an absorbing early reader." --<i>Publishers Weekly</i> <p/> "The unstoppable Raúl the Third brings his border barrio to rip-roaring life with plenty of humor, embedded Spanish, and Chicano cultural references.... Comic-book and lucha libre fans alike will not tap out of this semibilingual smackdown."--<i>Kirkus</i><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Raúl the Third</b> is the Pura Belpré Honor-winning illustrator of <i>Vamos!
