Taco is a squirrel. He loves tacos. This book is designed to inform the reader about squirrels, using Taco as an example - however, when we get to a discussion of squirrel predators, Taco takes it upon himself to intervene, not wanting to be eaten by a hawk - and who could blame him?! Editing your own story requires a careful hand, though, as Taco soon discovers...

This picture book is both fun and informative - and would probably be a big hit at storytime!

I received access to this title via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

Poor Taco, he only agreed to be in this book because he thought there would be tacos! Instead, he has to fill his cheeks with food (but not tacos), show how he can rotate his ankles backwards, and climb really high trees. When the author goes on to tell us how hawks hunt squirrels, Taco has had enough. He's going to use his own words to write the story his way and his way includes tacos. Lots of tacos.
The story is silly and fun and the illustrations are wonderful. Especially where Taco crosses out the words and includes his own. This would make for a run read-aloud or story time book. Really enjoyed this one.
