Choice of reading material for children is vitally important, especially for young boys who might think of reading as being a boring occupation. Funny dragon books for boys can appeal to their fascination with dragons as well as to their sense of humor. There are many stories about dragons available today with diverse characters, entertaining plots and wonderful illustrations. If you can find a book that makes your child laugh out loud, this may be the spark that begins a lifetime love of stories.
Dragons have appeared throughout history and in many different cultures. Dragons were usually portrayed as winged, fire-breathing, ferocious creatures. In the stories written for children today, they may still be fierce but they also portray other characteristics. Some of them are even lonely or shy and looking for a friend. Others act as protectors but there are also those who need to be protected or rescued by brave children.
The characters of these dragons are just like any other characters in that they may be mean, grumpy, angry, argumentative or funny and quirky. Dragons traditionally lived in remote areas inside dark caves. In modern stories they can live about anywhere and are found in homes, libraries, post offices and even make themselves at home in sandcastles on the beach.
They come in all shapes and sizes and they do not always breathe fire either. Even if they do breathe fire, they may be better at making toast than toasting people alive. They may also breathe out marshmallows rather than fire. Some of them hiccup when they try to breathe fire and this makes them very self conscious.
In the stories of old, dragons would eat birds, snakes, rats, bats, or even humans, especially children. Modern day dragons in stories for children have very different tastes. Some of them are confirmed vegetarians. Others have a taste for tacos and can be enticed to attend a party by supplying a huge bucket of them. Unfortunately, chaos results when they eat the salsa.
What these dragons do in stories can be very unpredictable, leading to many comic situations. In stories for children, some of these situations can be used to bring across life lessons without being preachy. They can learn about self image, relationships, tolerance for others, bullying and even environmental issues without realizing they are doing so.
Children do not appreciate stories that too obviously try to bring across lessons. However, they will always be extremely receptive to a story with interesting characters and a well constructed plot, particularly one which makes them laugh. The best authors can often convey some message about relationships, self image and other issues without being obvious at all. When this is done with humor, it often has an influence on a child and can even make a lasting impact.
Dragons have always held a fascination, particularly for children and this shows no sign of abating. The stories for children currently being written with dragons as characters are often highly entertaining and beautifully illustrated. You can find one suitable for your particular child by examining book lists online and reading reviews written by other parents.
