Taco the Goofy Dog Loves Shoes: A Tail-Wagging, Shoe-Chasing Adventure! by Lil Rustle is a fun read for kids. Taco is always on the go. When he gets the chance to grab a shoe, he gets the playful zoomies, racing all over the house with his prize. But one day, Taco's obsession goes a little too far, and he's in big trouble with Mom. But she's got an idea to help distract him from shoes. What is it? And is it really more fun than shoes?
Taco the Goofy Dog Loves Shoes by Lil Rustle is a cute picture book that all kids will love. It's written in rhyme, making it simple and fun to follow, and it will bring a smile to any little face. The illustrations are bright and colorful, helping tell an all-too-common story of a mischievous pup and chewed shoes! But it's not just for kids; adult readers with a dog like Taco might just learn how to stop their dog from doing the same. This is an entertaining tale, totally captivating, and guaranteed to hold any child's attention. I like that it is based on a real dog called Taco, and I loved the photos of him at the end of the book – these help young readers relate even more to the story. Most of us have had a mischievous pet like Taco, and we can all relate to Mom's frustration. This book is perfectly written for its target audience, but all readers will love it, no matter their age. Highly recommended reading for kids, at home or in school.
