Meet Taco, a squirrel with a taste for tacos, not nuts. When his story takes a dangerous turn, Taco decides to take control. Can he outsmart his natural predators and rewrite his fate?

From the publisher

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.
