About This Book

Explores the love dragons have for tacos, and the dangers of feeding them them anything with spicy salsa.

Our Review

This whimsical picture book introduces young readers to the most unexpected culinary connoisseursโ€”dragons who absolutely adore tacos. Through playful storytelling and vibrant illustrations, children discover that while these mythical creatures will devour taco parties with chicken, beef, or cheese fillings, there's one critical rule: never, ever include spicy salsa. The narrative cleverly builds anticipation around this fiery dietary restriction, creating a gentle tension that will captivate preschool audiences.

What makes this story particularly engaging is how it transforms a simple cautionary tale into a hilarious chain of events when the spicy salsa rule is inevitably broken. The book's humor operates on multiple levels, offering visual gags for younger children while older preschoolers will appreciate the cause-and-effect comedy of dragons' fiery reactions to spicy food. This imaginative approach to teaching consequences through fantasy scenarios makes it an excellent choice for read-aloud sessions that spark laughter and conversation about following instructions.
