Writer Jenna Schroeder and illustrator Yamerpro (aka Mandy Ecenbarger) were given the task of transforming the popular card game Taco Cat Goat Cheese Pizza. Their collaboration has resulted in the first book in a series of graphic novels — The Case of the Missing Hat!
This book is colorful, fun, and accessible. Fans of the game will enjoy how the simple characters were transformed into a well-rounded and dynamic group of friends. But at the same time, no familiarity with the game is required to enjoy this book, which has the same delightfully zany sense of humor as Saturday Morning Cartoons.
As with all of the books featured on this show, this is NOT a paid review. All books discussed on the Children’s Literature Podcast are chosen because they are high quality and have a lot to offer children, not because we have been paid. Hosts T.Q. Townsend and Chloë Townsend give Taco Cat Goat Cheese Pizza and the Case of the Missing Hat a VERY enthusiastic endorsement and recommend it for ALL ages! This is a great family read and is good for bookworms as well as those who are struggling to read!
