Average rating4.3
This is a squirrel . . . “Hey, I may be a squirrel, but my name is Taco! And I don't eat nuts and tree bark—blech—I prefer tacos!” The natural predator of squirrels is . . . “Whoa, whoa, whoa! Who is writing this book? I do not like where this is going.” This hilarious send-up of a children's nature primer teaches kids that the most important story is the one you write yourself.

Thanks to Netgalley for making this book available for an honest review!
Mmmmm. Tacos. Even the word by itself makes me drool a little. Who doesn't like tacos, crazy people that's who!? I can tell you who loves tacos and it is the squirrel.
I think this just might be my favorite children's book ever. I say children's, but really this book can appeal to all ages and get a chuckle out of even the most staunch adults who only read Proust in the original French. This book is funny, and the illustrations are absolutely marvelous. It reminds me of the humor that one would find online in your weekly webcomics. Concise and to the point. It also breaks the fourth wall a bit, especially when dealing with tacos. So really win-win for all. I see many kids in the future and their parents getting many chuckles from the adventures of the squirrel.
A squirrel named Taco explains the truth about squirrels, though, in the process, he is forced to cross out much of the text of this book.
