Synopsis:
This scrumptious New York Times bestseller has a whole lot of kick!
Dragons love tacos. They love chicken tacos, beef tacos, great big tacos, and teeny tiny tacos. So if you want to lure a bunch of dragons to your party, you should definitely serve tacos. Buckets and buckets of tacos. Unfortunately, where there are tacos, there is also salsa. And if a dragon accidentally eats spicy salsa... oh, boy. You're in red-hot trouble.
The award-winning team behind Those Darn Squirrels! has created an unforgettable, laugh-until-salsa-comes-out-of-your-nose tale of new friends and the perfect snack.
My Thoughts:
It's only coincidence that we read this storybook on our impromptu taco night. I do think it added to the experience though!
Dragons Love Tacos is all about dragons that love tacos. What kinds of tacos. What size tacos. How many tacos...
They also really like parties. Especially if they're taco parties. But dragons apparently have one weakness and that is spicy salsa! Do not give a dragon spicy salsa or you will regret it!
We loved the odd dragon illustrations and the odder speckled backgrounds and all the wonderful little tacos, of course! They are fun and humorous!
My one complaint is that the prose didn't really seem to flow and I didn't love reading it out loud.
But who couldn't love a book about dragons? Or tacos?
