About the Book
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. Full color.Book Synopsis
A #1 New York Times bestselling phenomenon, this deliciously funny read-aloud is an unforgettable tale of new friends and the perfect snack that will make you laugh until spicy salsa comes out of your nose. 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 of Adam Rubin and Daniel Salmieri are also the creators of Dragons Love Tacos 2: The Sequel, El Chupacabras, High Five, Robo-Sauce, and Secret Pizza Party.Review Quotes
#1 New York Times bestseller
Summer 2012 Kids' Indie Next List
New York Times Notable Book
Dragons Love Tacos is a heaping helping of silly. Little kids will relate to the anti-spicy bias and chuckle over Salmieri's watercolor and gouache cartoon illustrations showing literally boatloads of tacos and all sizes of dragons enjoying their favorite food at pool parties, costume parties and, well, taco parties.--San Francisco Chronicle
The perfect book for kids who love dragons and mild tacos.--Kirkus Reviews
The watercolor, gouache, and colored pencil cartoon illustrations are the real stars here. Regardless of, or perhaps because of, the absurdity of the story, this tale should be a big hit with anyone with an affinity for dragons.--School Library Journal

I thought this book was awful because it uses the word Hate over and over again, which is not a word I want my kids to use. I returned it at once.

Cute book, My 5 year old loves it. The only down side to this book is it uses the word hate, alot! And we do not use that word. Dislike would have been much more appropriate
Very cute book

This is my sons favorite book to read. It’s so cute. The definition of the word hate: to passionately dislike. It IS NOT a curse word. Just a little fact for those of you who are confused.
Taco bout a fun book!!

This book has been a huge hit in our house for years and years. One year, for dress up as your favorite book character and my son dressed up like the boy from Dragons Love Tacos. A staple book that everyone should have in their book collection!

It’s a cool book had my students draw themselves as dragon and draw something they loved as much as dragons loved tacos.
We LOVE this book.

My 4 year old read it in class and seemed to enjoy it so I thought I’d purchase a copy for at home. I’m not impressed. It somewhat builds you up to some great/funny ending only to let you down.
Funny story line

Using the word hate repeatedly in a children’s book is not appropriate. Ok to dislike something but hate is a strong word.
Love It!
