 Dragons Love Tacos
By: Adam Rubin
Dragons love tacos. They love chicken tacos, beef tacos, great big tacos, and teeny tiny tacos. So if you want to lure a bunch of dragons to your party, you should definitely serve tacos. Unfortunately, where there are tacos, there is also salsa. And if a dragon accidentally eats spicy salsa . . . oh, no!

Little Taco Truck
By: Tanya Valentine
Little Taco Truck serves up tasty treats but more trucks arrive each day and eventually there’s no space left for Little Taco Truck.  With some ingenuity and help from new friends, Little Taco Truck finds a parking spot because when we all work together, there is room enough for everyone!

There are so many out-of-this-world crafts to explore this week!
