My 3 year old loves this book. It is cute and modern. Living in Texas, tacos are all too familiar and he laughs at the mention. The illustrations are vibrant and fun!

It's only coincidence that we read this storybook on an impromptu taco night. I do think it added to the experience though!
Dragons Love Tacos is all about dragons that love tacos. What kinds of tacos. What size tacos. How many tacos...
They also really like parties. Especially if they're taco parties. But dragons apparently have one weakness and that is spicy salsa! Do not give a dragon spicy salsa or you will regret it!
We loved the odd dragon illustrations and the odder speckled backgrounds and all the wonderful little tacos, of course! They are fun and humorous!
My one complaint is that the prose didn't really seem to flow and I didn't love reading it out loud.
But who couldn't love a book about dragons? Or tacos?

Yes it's a silly story but my 4 yr old just loves loves loves it! What better theme than silly for early childhood?

Yes, dragons love tacos, so serve them lots of tacos but do not serve them spicy salsa. Serve them chicken tacos, meat tacos, small tacos, big tacos, tacos in buckets, tacos in sacks, hey better yet…..why don’t you host a taco party and have lots of tacos and lots of dragons come over. But do dragons like parties? Sure! Oh, but be careful what you serve for topping on those tacos! Because there is one thing that dragons can’t have on their tacos. Can they have cheese? Lettuce? Tomatoes? Sour Cream? What is that on the table? Who put that on the table? Someone get that away from that dragon! No!!!
It’s a cute story about dragons, their love of tacos and why they should not eat spicy salsa. I thought the illustrations were cute and text font was perfect for this fun story. I liked the lists that accompany each item, it’s broad yet children could expand on it as they know the perimeters that the author set. For example, the tacos (chicken, meat, small, big, tacos in buckets, tacos in sacks) we could add: bean tacos, stuffed taco, soft-shell taco, tacos in wheelbarrows, tacos in helmets, the list could go on. There are also the toppings, the salsa, and the parties. It reminded me of Green Eggs and Ham, as I would add: would I eat them on a bus? Would I eat them with a guy named Gus? So, what happens when the dragons eat the spicy salsa? Let’s just say that things get kicked up a notch. I think this is a great read aloud or a fun book just to look at the pages. What? There is a sequel

A young boy who likes dragons finds out that dragons love to eat tacos but not spicy ones, with a good reason.
The illustration by artist Daniel Salmieri is whimsical and fun to look at. The story is a little silly which some children could really love.
Honestly I thought it a little too silly for my taste. I have read other children books on dragons and I think this was my least favorite. The writing is very simple, maybe too simple.
I wanted to like it because I love dragons and it is very rarely that I find one I do not like. Unfortunately this was one that was unlikable to me but I am not the demographic. I think if you have child from ages 2 to 7 and is easy to make laugh they will probably enjoy.

Unnecessary use of the word hate

I LOVE children's books. Love them. I don't read them as much as I use to because my kids are older, and don't let me really read to them any more :(.
This was such a cute book. The illustrations are wonderful, colorful, and so much fun. A little boy wants to have a party with some dragons, so he gets ready for them by preparing a LOT of tacos.
What this little boy didn't realize was that some of the tacos he made had some spice to them. Dragons don't like spice. It makes them sneeze fire.
When the boy realizes that there is spice in some of the tacos he tries to get all of the dragons to stop eating them....Unfortunately he didn't do it soon enough. When all is said and done the kid and the dragons work together in the end to fix the mistake the Dragons made to the boys house.
So cute. If you have kids, or grand kids this is a great book to add to your collection. It's so cute, and funny.

Howlingly funny for adults. A good introduction to dragons for kids, as well as talking about tacos and salsa. Did I mention howlingly funny for adults? Because the innuendo is well over the top. So plenty here for all sides of the equation.

My 3 y/o son loves this book. It is fun to read it to him and we even find ourselves quoting lines from it. It's adorable. We received it as a gift and I am so glad that we did!

This is my classes favorite book!! It is super fun to read and the kids have so much fun with it. We literally read it a few times every week. Haha just a wonderful cute book.

Really cute book for kids that love dragons. I bought it for my four year old nephew.

A simple story with lots of colorful illustrations. What fun for the reader and the small listener, who must know what tacos are, and what salsa tastes like. The dragons' reaction to hot salsa is so human, and so delightful to portray to a child.

The book is great! My daughter is 3 1/2 and loves to play up telling me not to open the book because it's dangerous in there. The dragons will catch everything on fire. I plan to get this book for a little boy I know :)

My great nephew who just turned 3 years old won't put this book down.

My 4 year old daughter LOVES this book. We've read it every night for storytime since we bought it - so it's a good thing I love it too! It has great humor, and is just the right length for kids in the 3-5 age range. Love it!

My kids (boys ages 2 & 4.5) LOVE this book! We have so much fun reading it all together and making dragon noises. Any time we go to the supermarket the boys love making sure we aren’t buying anything spicy. When we see tomatoes my older son lifts it up and says "tomatoes" and my younger son replies "check!!" I love that they enjoy the book even when we aren't reading it. Very clever!!!
