Dragons Love Tacos

(4) K-3 Illustrated by Daniel Salmieri. Dragons love tacos, but they don't like spicy salsa--it gives them "tummy troubles." At his dragon taco party, a boy inadvertently serves up mildly spicy salsa and his guests accidentally burn his house down. The one-note plot falls a little short, but an absurd premise, funny (if repetitive) text, and humor-laced watercolor, gouache, and colored-pencil illustrations will draw kids in.
