- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Niño, the young Lucha Libra wrestler from author/illustrator Yuyi Morales' Niño Wrestles the World, returns in this second picture-book adventure, this time facing off against his most challenging adversary yet: his two baby sisters. A pair with some powerful weapons, from farts to dirty diapers, the Horrendous Hermanitas are almost defeated, but their terrible wailing eventually wins the day, as Niño is eventually captured, and put to work reading them a story...I was unaware that Rudas: Niño's Horrendous Hermanitas was a sequel, when I picked it up. To my surprise, given the fact that I almost always enjoy Yuyi Morales' work, I found myself mostly indifferent to the story, although I can certainly see how children who enjoy potty humor and/or are interested in Mexican wrestling, might find it a lot of fun. Perhaps if I'd read the first book first, I would have felt more invested. However that might be, I did (as always) enjoy the artwork, which was colorful, vivid and immensely engaging. Recommended to Morales fans, and to anyone looking for picture-books about Lucha Libra. They might also seek out Lucía the Luchadora and Lucía the Luchadora and the Million Masks, which feature a girl wrestler in this vein.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5pretty excellent, totally hilarious.
