mean dude He terrorizes the birds, interrupts Fookwire's painting,
and ties the squirrels' tails together. Fookwire is upset, but not

that charms the old grump.

already tell all your friends, did you? Uh oh . . .

quirky ode to the lengths we will go to for our heart's desire.
Praise for "Dragons Love Tacos"
"New York Times" bestseller
A "New York Times" Notable Children's Book of 2012
"Rubin and Salmieri are two of the weirdest, funniest guys working
in kids' lit today. The team lets its geek flag fly in an obsessive
how-to guide for would-be dragon taco party hosts. Why a taco
party? As Rubin explains, 'The only things dragons love more than
parties or tacos, is taco parties.' If further proof is required,
Salmieri--whose poker-faced watercolor, gouache, and color pencil
drawings set a benchmark for oddball observational humor--shows one
odd, scaly creature with a carryout bag from 'Taco Cave' and
another beaming with anticipation as it eagerly circles the date
for a taco party on its taco-themed calendar. But beware: even if
all the tips and rules are followed to the letter (on quantity:
'The best way to judge is to get a boat and fill the boat with
tacos'), all will be for naught if spicy salsa makes its way into
the taco filling. In fact, the dragons will bring a whole new
meaning to 'housewarming.' 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"
This unforgettable tale of new friends and the perfect snack now
comes in a bite-sized 7.5" x 7.5" trim, with a 6" dragon plush toy.
Story time just got even more fun! 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.
