Reach for this book when your child is facing a 'world-ending' problem that requires a bit of humor and lateral thinking to solve. It is a fantastic choice for those moments when life feels a little too serious and you need to model that even big mistakes can be fixed with persistence and a sense of play. The story follows a group of dragons and their human friend as they navigate a global taco shortage by building a time machine, only to find that messing with the past has its own hilariously messy consequences. Ideal for children aged 3 to 7, this sequel builds on the absurdity of its predecessor while introducing light science-fiction concepts like time travel and cause-and-effect. Parents will appreciate the way it encourages creative problem-solving and resilience. It is a high-energy, laugh-out-loud read that teaches kids that even when things go spectacularly wrong, you can always try again (and maybe find a snack along the way).
