EH. Had promise, but it was kind of just simple facts about squirrels with a weird ending. Nothing really tied together.

I  received a free digital copy of this book from Netgalley for an honest review.

Oh my gosh. How flipping cute is this book?!!

Poor little Taco the squirrel. All he wants is tacos. This is a cute story that starts out educating about squirrels before....well. I'll let you read it.

Next I wanna read about Garbage the prairie dog!

Er... yes. Too flippant to be useful. Or amusing. Looks good, but ultimately a waste of five minutes.

I found this story to be quite fun! The adorable main character, Taco the squirrel, had some things he wanted to share directly with the readers. I just know that children will love this interactively written book, and will be laughing out loud.

I have received a much appreciated digital copy of this book from NetGalley and the publisher in exchange for an honest review.

I didn't like the book. The drawings were cute and the titled looked like it would be fun. But it wasn't. The story was , well, kind of stupid.

You can learn about squirrels through reading books written about squirrels. However, you might be more curious about what you can learn straight from the source itself! Taco (the squirrel) takes his red pen to the story to inform you that he prefers tacos over acorns, and bushes to trees, and all the other things that make him unlike all other squirrels (and tacos). Great example of a character with voice and personality. A mentor choice for a mini lesson in writer's workshop- when teaching autobiographies or modeling for kids topic choice. A funny book with vibrant graphic novel style illustrations. I love how Taco's comments are in talking bubbles. Fans of Melanie Watt's Chester books will love This is a Taco. We'll all be waiting for the sequel!

This is a Taco is absolutely adorable. (It reminded me of Chester by Melanie Watt, where the character gets involved with the story and changes the outcome, which is also a HUGE favorite of mine.) Taco is a squirrel who also loves Tacos! This is a Taco starts off like a guide to squirrels, where we learn that squirrels have really soft fur and prairie dog hairstylists. The images for the accompanying pages are adorable. Taco is the perfect squirrel. He's round and fluffy and his speech bubbles are on point. Taco gets worried when he learns that Hawks are a squirrel's natural predator and takes over the story. Adorable book and I highly recommend.

This is a hilarious children's book told by a squirrel named Taco. Taco speaks directly to the reader, explaining a few facts about squirrels and sharing his favorite food - tacos, of course! The illustrations and the interactive story make this a laugh out loud read for kids!

Cute, educational and funny! I learned some things I didn't know about these little creatures.

With just enough silliness to keep kids entertained THIS IS A TACO allows them to learn about squirrels without getting bored. But it also brings up a larger message. As Taco says, if you want tacos in your stories, you have to make it happen. Taco the squirrel is resourceful and finds a way to keep itself safe, while also getting what it wants. Taco basically sends the message that life is what you make of it.

I loved this book! It was so adorable! The illustrations are fantastic and the story is funny!

Overall I liked the idea and tone of this book, but the execution was a little clunky in spots--specifically what the squirrel says in the first spread and last spread. It's going for Be Quiet! meets Dragons Love Tacos, and *almost* gets there.

Andrew Cangelose brings the world Taco the squirrel in This Is a Taco. You get a page of dialogue and then a picture on the facing page. But when Taco is not pleased with the text, he will make changes with a red marker. Plenty of fun is you like snarky squirrels and/or Tacos.

Thanks Netgalley for the chance to read this tale.

This book was absolutely hilarious. I will be buying this for the kids in my life and maybe for some adults who love tacos too!

This book is so cute! It is a educational picture book featuring a squirrel who has names himself Taco because he loves tacos. He as agreed to be in this book to help readers learn about squirrels. When he finds out there is a part about hawks being the predator of a squirrel he gets scared and rewrites the story to feature tacos! He has to rearrange the wording a few times to get the storyline he wishes. The book changes every time he rewrites it.

I was happy to get this copy from NetGalley, as I love to take short breaks from heavier plots by reading some children's/middle grade books - it's just such a simple world with laughter and learning. This is a Taco is no different. It's short and whimsical and I'm sure children will love it. The drawing style is quite unique but simple and I like that the learning of squirrels is frequently interrupted by Taco (the squirrel) when he doesn't agree with the narrator. A sweet little book that I think most kids would enjoy.

A squirrel is promised tacos if he appears in a nonfiction story about squirrels. But things go quickly downhill when promised tacos do not appear. This is one determined squirrel. He is going to get his tacos even if he has to write them in himself. This was a lot of fun. The illustrations combined with the story is sure to make kids laugh.

This was a cute book! The illustrations were done very well and children will love seeing them. I like how the story gave facts and then the squirrel changed it to suite himself.

I'm always drawn to the ridiculous, and this sort of book can be just as entertaining for adult readers as for younger readers.
This Is a Taco! is a fun book about making your own story.

Not all squirrels are happy living off nuts and tree bark. Some prefer a good crispy taco, and can you blame them? This delightful picture book is the story of one such squirrel who dares to fight the narrator and find its own happy ending with tacos. Assisted by charming art work, this storybook is sure to be a fun read with your own rebel squirrels.
