Dragons Love Tacos 2: The Sequel

Book · 2017 · Adam Rubin, illustrated by Daniel Salmieri

A wonderfully silly picture book in which a boy and his dragon friends hop into a time machine to solve a worldwide taco shortage, only to keep making deliciously chaotic messes along the way. The humor is gentle and absurdist, and the only 'danger' comes from cartoon fire-breathing.

A perfect read-aloud for preschoolers and early-elementary kids who love giggles, dragons, and tacos.
