Praise for Dragon's First Taco (from the creators of Dragons Love Tacos)

Praise for Dragons Love Tacos
#1 New York Times bestseller
Summer 2012 Kids' Indie Next List
New York Times Notable Book

* "Off-kilter fun for those who like their picture books (and salsa) zesty and fresh." —Publishers Weekly, starred review

"Dragons Love Tacos is a heaping helping of silly.  Little kids will relate to the anti-spicy bias and chuckle over Salmieri's watercolor and gouache cartoon illustrations showing literally boatloads of tacos and all sizes of dragons enjoying their favorite food at pool parties, costume parties and, well, taco parties."—San Francisco Chronicle

"The perfect book for kids who love dragons and mild tacos."—Kirkus Reviews

"The watercolor, gouache, and colored pencil cartoon illustrations are the real stars here. Regardless of, or perhaps because of, the absurdity of the story, this tale should be a big hit with anyone with an affinity for dragons." —School Library Journal

Praise for Dragons Love Tacos 2: The Sequel

"As Rubin puts it, 'dragons love diapers. I mean, tacos. Dragons love tacos. / Heck, everyone loves tacos.' Most young readers, even those in diapers, would agree." —Kirkus Reviews
"This sequel’s dialed-up energy and absurdity remain a tasty—and very funny—combination." —Publishers Weekly

"This zany companion promises to be as gut-bustingly ridiculous and yes-I'll-gladly-read-it-again-and-again entertaining as the first." —PopSugar
