A hilarious robot story with an out-of-this-world format twist, from the bestselling Dragons Love Tacos team

Fans of the best-selling Dragons Love Tacos will devour Adam Rubin and Daniel Salmieri’s newest story, a hilarious picture book about robots that magically transforms into a super shiny metal ROBO-BOOK.

FACT: Robots are awesome. They have lasers for eyes, rockets for feet, and supercomputers for brains! Plus, robots never have to eat steamed beans or take baths, or go to bed. If only there were some sort of magical “Robo-Sauce” that turned squishy little humans into giant awesome robots… Well, now there is.

Giggle at the irreverent humor, gasp at the ingenious fold-out surprise ending, and gather the whole family to enjoy a unique story about the power of imagination. It’s picture book technology the likes of which humanity has never seen!

Praise for Robo-Sauce

Praise for Robo-Sauce:

* "Brilliantly inspired... a tribute to the unpredictable power of imagination." --Booklist, starred review

* "Is there an award for best gatefold ever? Then tell Rubin and Salmieri to get out their tuxes, because this book has the one to beat." --Publishers Weekly, starred review

"An abundance of absurdity that will entertain boys and girls of all ages." --Kirkus

"A pretty fun picture book." --Popular Science

"Wonderful, but with an extra layer of crazy." --MentalFloss.com

"Craziest dang thing I've ever seen...You may ask yourself, 'Should I invest my money, my time and my love in this book?' And the answer is yes...They know how to write a book." --Betsy Bird

"The combo of Rubin and Salmieri do one thing: make books that are fun to read."--100 ScopeNotes

Praise for Dragons Love Tacos:

  • New York Times bestseller
  • Indie bestseller lists
  • PW starred review
  • Summer 2012 Kids' Indie Next list


    • * "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 Secret Pizza Party:

    * "With a casually diverse cast of characters, Secret Pizza Party is a sure hit for primary-grade kids, who will appreciate the subtle humor and absurdity." --School Library Journal, starred review

    "From the madcap creators of Dragons Love Tacos (2012), another animal foodie shows just how far he will go to get his favorite meal. This screwball of a story will leave readers hankering for a slice." --Kirkus Reviews
