About This Book

Let the New York Times bestselling team behind Dragons Love Tacos introduce the joy of dragons to the youngest of readers in this original board book shaped like a taco! What do you get when you take a tortilla, fold it in half, and fill it with all sorts of delicious things? A taco, of course! This little dragon's first taco will surely not be their last in this lively, funny board book that introduces the magic of tacos and dragons.

Our Review

This clever board book introduces young readers to the joy of cooking through the irresistible combination of dragons and tacos, serving up a delightful introduction to food preparation and imaginative play. The taco-shaped format immediately captures attention as the story walks children through the simple steps of creating their first taco - from folding the tortilla to adding colorful toppings. Adam Rubin's signature humor shines through as the little dragon discovers the magic of this delicious meal, making the process feel like an exciting adventure rather than a cooking lesson. The bright, engaging illustrations and sturdy pages are perfectly suited for small hands exploring their first concepts of food and cooking.

What sets this book apart is how naturally it blends early learning about food preparation with the whimsical dragon character that children already adore from the bestselling series. The simple, repetitive text builds confidence in emerging readers while the familiar taco-making process helps toddlers understand sequences and cause-and-effect relationships. Parents will appreciate how this story transforms mealtime excitement into literacy engagement, creating a natural bridge between reading and real-world experiences. This charming shape book delivers a satisfying blend of humor, learning, and dragon-fueled imagination that will have children begging for storytime and tacos in equal measure.
