Dragones y Tacos (Dragons and Tacos)

Adam Rubin

* "Off-kilter fun for those who like their picture books (and salsa) zesty and fresh."--Publishers Weekly, starred review
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.

""Dragons Love Tacos" is a heaping helping of silly.
