* "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.

Praise for "Dragons Love Tacos: "
New York Times bestseller
A New York Times Notable Children's Book of 2012
Summer Kids' Indie Next List
"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 "
