The Little Matador

(3) K-3 A reluctant matador-in-training spends his time secretly drawing. When his parents thrust him into the ring to face a bull, he shocks everyone by subduing the animal with his artistic ability. Readers will appreciate the young matador's steadfast resolve while enjoying the story's mellow humor. Amiable illustrations in earthy shades concisely express a wide range of emotion.
