SUDBURY, MA — Kids in Sudbury recently participated in a March Madness-style tournament to pick the best fantasy book at the Goodnow Library — and the winner tells the story of a taco-loving dragon.

The book, "Dragons Love Tacos," beat out some of the most popular books in the children's fantasy cannon, including the "Harry Potter" series and "Where the Wild Things Are."

Goodnow children's librarians hold the "Magical Mania" tournament in March each year to expose young readers to the variety of mystical titles at the library.
