Niño Wrestles the World, by Yuyi Morales

In honor and celebration of Hispanic Heritage Month, last week at Congress Elementary we read a fun book called Niño Wrestles the World by Yuyi Morales.  This award winning book has lovely color and illustrations as well as an array of Hispanic themed characters such as el momia de Guanajuato, la Llorona, la Cabeza Olmeca, el Chamuco and el Extraterrestre.  Like in the U.S., wrestling has a long history and is hugely popular in Mexico and in Latin America.   Read and enjoy as the stupendous el Niño takes on these contenders and a surprise duo...
