Toddler review

"I am requested to read this twice a day minimum by my 2 year old right now"

Erin (5/5)

Taco Party Fun!

"One of my toddlers favourites and taco nights have never been the same since."

Corey B. (4/5)

Not what I expected

"We did not like this book at all. I purchased because it was on a list of good read-alouds for kids. I volunteer at my sons library, and enjoy reading with voices and character. This book was just not fit for that purpose, and was also just not interesting. My 7 year old did not like it at all - and I had not said a word to him. We actually returned it."

Jessyca (1/5)

Fun for 4 year olds

"A wonderful book for someone just beginning french immersion"

Cheryl F. (5/5)

Emily (5/5)

SUCH A FUNNY BOOK!

* "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
