I'm not a huge taco fan, but this book made me laugh out loud! My preschool story time kids are going to love it. Bright, vivid illustrations, a cute little squirrel, and lots of humor. Definitely a keeper.
This is such a funny book! The illustrations are gorgeous & the story is informative yet hilarious.
It gives great information on squirrels and then Taco takes over in a hilarious & unexpected way.
Great for kids & people of all ages.
Bonus: the author & illustrator bios are hilarious!
I got this book at ALA for my niece & the author & illustrator signed it for her.
**UPDATE: this is my niece Sofia's favorite book! :)

This was really cute! It started out like any other "nature" book--with habitat and eating habits, but with the menace of hawks--squirrels' natural predator--it literally went off-script and tacos ensued!
This was cute and had some silly bits that made me laugh, but the ending was kinda abrupt and strange (not in a great way).
Taco is a squirrel who loves to eat tacos, and he agrees to be in this book to teach young children about squirrels, with the understanding that there will be tacos in the book! But Taco gets more than he bargained for when he is mistaken for a flying squirrel, forced to eat tree bark, and hunted by a ferocious hawk. Can Taco take back control of the narrative before it's too late?
I love books that break down the fourth wall, especially picture books. As Taco becomes increasingly anxious about the chaotic turn the story is taking, he does a beautiful job of addressing the reader directly and including the audience in the book narrative. The writing is quite clever, and similar to another favorite picture book, [b:The Monster at the End of this Book|44186|The Monster at the End of this Book|Jon Stone|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1388193494s/44186.jpg|640276] !
The illustrations are so lovely! Colorful and funny, each page has a charm all its own. Taco is so cute!! He's cuddly and adorable, and I love his funny facial expressions.
I like that Taco is single-minded about wanting his tacos, and he takes charge of his own story to make sure he gets the happy ending he desires. He's a fun and likable character, with some slapstick jokes and general silliness.

Received this book as an earc from NetGalley. It was cute and I enjoyed the art style but I wish that the second half of the story had been just a little longer and we had been able to see more of Taco interacting with the book.
Absolutely adorable! Loved this book. The illustrations were darling. Such a cute book to show kids that they can let their imaginations run free.
Okay, this was adorable! It's a very short book, but any kid (or taco-loving adult) would love this. It's funny and silly and charming. The art is fantastic, very colorful, and super cute.
*Thanks to NetGalley for the book.

yes i did also read this at work today (pros of working at a children's bookstore amirite?) and it was genuinely one of the funniest books i have ever read. also i'm not cheating by logging picture books this early in the year for my goodreads goal. i am NOT!!!
Josh Shipley's artwork really was the perfect choice for this delightful book that blends two of my favorite things, tacos and squirrels. It's natural yet whimsical and gives it an extra something that I have no idea how to put into words.
For kids, it gives a few facts while mixed with humor that will keep them turning pages until they sadly come to the end of the 32 pages. It also gives a great example of how to have fun with words and therefore books, which I totally appreciated.
