Publisher's Summary

Toro

A story that evokes beloved films such as Babe and Ratatouille.

Alicía Catalina Cortés is a fast and fiery Spanish cow who desperately wants to run with the bulls in Pamplona - but since she’s a cow, tradition forbids her to partake in the fiesta of San Fermín. Through her journey, Alicía learns that to be noble and brave, she must follow her dream and her heart, even if it means defying tradition.

Toro is set in the colorful backdrop of Pamplona, Spain during the fiesta of San Fermín and the running of the bulls, famed as one of the most exhilarating, dangerous, and spectacular events around the world.

Fantastic, uplifting story

Thoroughly enjoyed Toro, including a really compelling story and an uplifting message. It's perfectly catered to children and equally entertaining for adults; you could see this easily being adapted into a fantastic animated film. Loved the range of voices that were featured, too!

Great for the whole family!

My kids loved this, but so did my wife and I! Avner’s writing is crisp and colorful and his story compelling. And the voice actors bring such life and spark. Can’t wait to listen again.

Spectacular in every regard!

I just finished listening to the audiobook Toro. The narrators are wonderful, making the characters come to life. The story itself is one that is uplifting, heartfelt, humorous at times and encourages everyone to pursue their dreams. Although it may be written for middle school students, in my opinion, it would be enjoyable for all ages, myself being an example. Toro would make a wonderful Disney movie and hoping we will be watching it in the near future. Kudos to the author.

Best book I’ve read in my whole life!!

Perfect for young kids and older, as well. It has a great overall message conveyed that is amazing for young kids to learn from. I thoroughly enjoyed the audio book and all of the different voices, especially Andrew Avner! They added so much emotion and suspense to the story. I didn’t want to ever put the audio on pause because it was so entertaining. Overall, it was an amazing and entertaining book.

Fun story, great listen

Overall, it is a great story and the cast was very good. I found the premise to be very refreshing, a strong cow who wanted to run with the bulls in Pamplona. The supporting characters were very well developed and a few were humorous. I enjoyed this book and would recommend it.

My only concern was the primary narrator. He really Anglicized the Spanish words and mispronounced the name “Alicia” throughout the story. I found that to be very distracting.

Just what we all need! Heart warming, uplifting and a great listen

Enjoyed every moment of this and all the different voices and characters! A perfect escape and a great listen for all ages. I look forward to more like this from the author
