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.

This makes the perfect gift for any special occasion, from award-winning team of Adam Rubin and Daniel Salmieri who created Dragons Love Tacos 2: The Sequel, El Chupacabras, High Five, Robo-Sauce, and Secret Pizza Party.

Goodreads review by Jane on February 22, 2019

In this book we have dragons, which is nice, but what is even better is that we also have tacos. Many tacos. So many tacos. Who doesn't like tacos? I "read" this through Hoopla. The only versions available to me were the Read-Along and the Hoopla Movie. They're both pretty much the same thing: a narr......more

Goodreads review by Tim on April 12, 2020

This is it people, I may as well just quit reading. We've hit the pinnacle of what literature can be: Dragons Love Tacos. Yes, yes they certainly do. You know why? Because everyone loves tacos. Especially dragons though. The plot of this book follows a young boy, who wants to hold a taco party for d......more

Goodreads review by Jeremy on January 19, 2014

It's a truth universally acknowledged, that a single dragon in possession of a large appetite, must be in want of hundreds of tacos. And this humorous book has more than one dragon in it, meaning many, many tacos. This light-hearted, slightly absurd dragon story makes you want to read it aloud to a......more

I have always loved dragons and I......more

#1 New York Times bestseller

New York Times Notable Book

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