DRAGONS LOVE TACOS

Adam Rubin Daniel Salmieri

A #1 New York Times bestselling phenomenon, this deliciously funny read-aloud from the creators of Robo-Sauce and Secret Pizza Party 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 has created an unforgettable tale of new friends and the perfect snack.

Adam Rubin and Daniel Salmieri are the creators of the New York Times bestselling Robo-Sauce and Secret Pizza Party. Adam lives in New York, New York, and Daniel lives in Brooklyn, New York.

Adam Rubin was interviewed by the New York Times (179M UVPM) for their "Inside the List" feature to celebrate the 10th anniversary of DRAGONS LOVE TACOS. Read more...

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.

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.

Off-kilter fun for those who like their picture books (and salsa) zesty and fresh.

DRAGONS LOVE TACOS was on the Indie bestseller lists on the Summer 2012 Kids' Indie Next list a New York Times Notable Book of 2012

DRAGONS LOVE TACOS has spent an unprecedented 358 weeks on the New York Times bestseller list making it one of the longest running picture books on the list! (July 5, 2022)

Rubin and Salmieri, the team behind the equally hilarious "Those Darn Squirrels!," bring their kooky sensibility to this irresistible story about what can go wrong at a taco party for dragons... The dragons may screw up the party, but this book gets everything right.

The perfect book for kids who love dragons and mild tacos.
