Taco Falls Apart (Food for Thought)

Trying to get kids into the CBT triangle can be so tricky but this book makes it so fun and you can make some really cute crafts to go with it

This was such a cute read! I bought it as an SEL lesson for my class and was not disappointed. I ended up using it for summer school too and did a project with it afterward.

Gave it as a gift but was told it was read over and over and enjoyed by all.

This book was perfect for us to read with our oldest about how it’s ok to fall apart sometimes. Not everyone is meant to stay strong and hold it all together. If we carry too much we can fall apart just like Taco and that’s okay! My oldest loved reading this and found it both relatable and funny.

My five year old requests this book every night before he goes to bed. I love it too so I never mind reading it to him

I shared this book with my 6 year old grandson and he really liked it.It explored the story of Taco and when he falls apart because he thinks too much is expected of him.His friends - the taco additives help him realize by using the Think- Feel- Do motto he can turn his feeling around and form a positive mind set.Great for preschoolers and early elementary schoolers.

Used this book to help teach a SEL lesson. The kids loved the art work and it was easy for them to understand what was happening when Taco fell apart!

I voluntarily read and reviewed an advance copy of this book provided by the publisher, American Psychological Association, via NetGalley. All thoughts and opinions are my own. From a child's perspective, they will understand that Taco gets sad and when he breaks, he feels bad. They will understand that his friends are trying to cheer him up and when Taco changes his thoughts, he feels better.From a teacher's perspective, I am so excited to have a book that explains positive thinking in a way that makes sense for my littles. This book shows them that it's ok to have bad days. I also enjoy how it shows that even when people say bad things about you(the beans), you still need to say the good things about yourself.
