course the crispity crunchity crust. But someone is always chasing poor
Raccoon away from his favorite food with a broom! What's a hungry
raccoon to do? Plan an elaborate secret pizza party, of course!
But shhh! It's a secret! In fact, you should probably just forget I
told you. Nope, no secret pizza party happening here.You didn't already
tell all your friends, did you? Uh oh . . .
Fans of Jon Klassen and Mo Willems's humor will gobble up this 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
