Illustrated by
Daniel Salmieri.
When a "sudden exhaustion of taco supplies" leaves the dragons bereft, the narrator tries (and repeatedly fails) to set a time machine back to the last taco party (Dragons Love Tacos). Mishaps involve cavemen, diapers, and (of course) spicy salsa. As in this book's predecessor, the tongue-in-cheek, conversational narrative's humor wears thin by book's end, but kids will devour Salmieri's slapstick illustrations of the hangry chaos.
