🌮 While Dragons Love Tacos 2 focuses on time travel to save tacos, the original book was inspired by Adam Rubin's real-life love of tacos and his observation that almost everyone enjoys them. 🐲 The book's illustrator, Daniel Salmieri, has collaborated with Adam Rubin on multiple children's books, including Secret Pizza Party and Those Darn Squirrels. 📚 The success of the first Dragons Love Tacos book led to merchandise including plush toys, board games, and even taco-themed party supplies. 🌶️ Both Dragons Love Tacos books emphasize the dragons' aversion to spicy salsa, which was partly inspired by children's common wariness of spicy foods. ⏰ The time machine in Dragons Love Tacos 2 is powered by tacos, playing on the common sci-fi trope of unusual power sources while keeping the story's food theme consistent.
