In this hilarious picture book about teamwork and accountability for fans of Dragons Love Tacos and the Food Group books, a lovable but self-absorbed knight tries to turn every night into Taco Night, to his entire village's dismay.
In a kingdom full of busy, clever people, no one has time to cook. Luckily the Knights of Dinner make sure the villagers are well fed. It could be Pizza Knight or Noodle Knight, Dumpling Knight, even New Recipe Knight! No knight is everybodys favorite, but every knight is somebodys favorite. That is . . . until Taco Knight comes to townand tries to turn every night into taco night.
Brimming with wacky humor and action, Its Taco Knight! celebrates friendship and empathy and reminds us that variety is the spice of life.

(Helga Makes a Name for Herself ) "This girl-power story is a victorious celebration of uniqueness, ingenuity, and little people following their big dreams." -- Booklist
