This fun book is about a precocious squirrel who takes charge of the informational squirrel book to write his own story about Taco, the taco loving squirrel who refuses to be a predator of hawks, but instead becomes his own predator of yummy tacos. When things go awry on his plan, he just takes his favorite red crayon and edits again.
This is a great writing workshop mini lesson resource on the power of editing to show voice, character and humor, even for middle school kids.
Last words:
Kids, remember: if you want tacos in your story, then YOU make sure there are tacos in your story.
