If the sight of taco-loving dragons accidentally breathing fire at a party cracked you up, you’ll love how The Book with No Pictures forces the grown-up reading it to say absurd words and silly sounds. It’s the same brand of cheeky, kid-powered humor—no pictures needed—just as irresistible as the dragons’ taco obsession.

You enjoyed how spicy salsa turns the friendly dragons into accidental flamethrowers—and how they help rebuild the house with tacos afterward. In Not Your Typical Dragon, Crispin the dragon doesn’t breathe fire at all; he sneezes out things like whipped cream and marshmallows, and those unexpected puffs end up saving the day. It’s the same light, magical twist on dragon lore with a sweet, silly payoff.

If the direct asides like “Hey kid, did you know that dragons love tacos?” drew you in, Don’t Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus! doubles down on that playful chatter. The Pigeon pleads and negotiates with you just like the narrator clues you in about the “no spicy salsa” rule—super simple language, big laughs, and lots of audience participation.

In Dragons Love Tacos, one simple warning—“No spicy salsa!”—snowballs into a hilarious disaster and a warm, taco-fueled fix. If You Give a Mouse a Cookie has that same intimate, one-thing-leads-to-another charm as a single cookie sets off a funny, looping series of requests, all within a snug, everyday setting.

Loved the taco party going off the rails when the dragons munch salsa with peppers and then helping rebuild before serving more tacos? In The Watermelon Seed, a crocodile swallows a seed and imagines vines growing in his belly—panic ensues—until a giant burp saves the day. It’s the same breezy setup, comic escalation, and giggly, kid-pleasing twist.
