Dragons Love Tacos

This book found its way into our library bag a few weeks ago. 
I was skeptical. 



I sort of started to like it when I noticed all of the tacos on the endsheets. That's pretty funny. 

Then we read the first line:
"Hey kid, did you know that dragons love tacos?"
Then we learned that they love tacos and parties, but not spicy taco toppings. Definitely not spicy salsa. What they love most of all are taco parties, which are parties with lots of tacos. 
"Hey dragon, are you excited for the big taco party?"
By the end, we were in love and already flipping back to the beginning to read it again. Suddenly, the tacos on the endsheets were even funnier than they were the first time we noticed them.

After reading it 1,000 times, we couldn't even pull it out of the bag without cracking up. It's just funny. Deadpan funny. Majorly fun to read out loud. And so silly that you have to laugh every single time. It's one of those books that kids memorize after a few reads and then walk around the house reciting. 

I could never have guessed that this silly book would become one of our favorites. But it's true. We love Dragons Love Tacos.
