Book Summary:  This book explains to its readers how much dragons love tacos. They love big tacos, little tacos, tacos with veggies on them, and tacos parties. There’s only one thing they do not like on their tacos, salsa! It makes their ears smoke! As if dragons needed another reason to cause smoke. One day they were invited to a taco party and they accidentally ate salsa! Of course, the salsa was so hot that it because their ears to smoke and consequentially burn the house down. Everything turned out fine though, together all the dragons helped rebuild the house and all was good.

Critical Analysis: This book is a wonderful choice for children in elementary grade levels although as an adult I enjoyed as much as my students did. Most kids love mythical creatures and the thought of dragons eating Mexican food is quite humorous. I had never read a book similar to this one and it is one I would like to promote amongst other teachers as I believe their students would enjoy it very much.
