BUYING ADVISORY: Pre-K, EL (K-3) - ESSENTIAL
AUDIENCE APPEAL: HIGH
As the narrator tries to tell the reader about our friend the squirrel, THIS squirrel, named Taco for his favorite food, has other ideas in mind for how this story should go - especially when it talks about the predators! With his red pen he is ready to make the changes he’d prefer.
Taco the squirrel is pretty funny! I hope this doesn’t encourage students to take their own red pens to make to make their preferred changes. Could spark a discussion about editing or even unintended consequences in writing. But you can’t help but liking Taco!
