"Tacos? I'm already reading this with one in hand! The illustrations are a vibe! It gives off the energy similar to the """"Lady who swallowed. . . """" and """"The Black Lagoon"""", strange looking but intriguing to look at. The book breaks the fourth wall and invites you to be part of the party. You are given careful instructions about the delicate taco making process for the dragons, surprisingly they are sensitive eaters. . ."
"I have noticed that if I read this 2-3 times to my nieces (which I don't mind doing—it's a fun book), then they start craving tacos, and it tips the scales about whether or not we should make tacos for dinner that night. So great is the taco force of this book that we all had tacos for Christmas dinner. The chorizo is strong with this one. . ."
"How to prepare tacos for dragons or you could have an unhappy dragon. And do they like you or your tacos? Fun story on how much dragons love tacos and how you must do them for the dragons or you will have some mighty sick dragons which I know I don't want."
"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, 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"

"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 one of the best books I have seen lately. The writing is clear and children will love the story. Buy it for your children or grandchildren!"
"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."
"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."
