Fun Dragon Books For Kids

By Enid Hinton


Mythical creatures with spikes, claws and wings that breathe fire have been the subject of much speculation through the ages. They appear in tales told by many different cultures all over the world. These creatures hold a fascination that makes them popular with people of all ages. Dragon books for kids are written in such a way as to be entertaining and humorous rather than frightening but they still have a magical quality about them.

The characters of the dragons in these stories are as diverse as the characters of humans. They may be fierce, grumpy, kind and funny. The way they look varies from smaller ones to enormous creatures with bodies of all shapes. They even come in all the colors of the rainbow, including pink. Most of them are fire breathing and have wings for flying. They are unpredictable creatures and a combination of the absurd and the practical often creates the kind of comedy that children thoroughly enjoy.

There are those that are lonely and looking for affection, clumsy ones, naughty ones and above all, creatures that children can relate to in some way or other, whether it is the cowardly creature who has to face up to his fears of mice or the one who feels all alone and just wants someone to be his friend. One may be adopted as a pet by a child who goes through all kinds of adventures as a result, surviving many challenges and coming through them victoriously.

Children respond to their strangeness and their imaginations are stretched by the situations they encounter and how they handle them. Their every day life is enriched as a result. They can laugh at them and be happy with them when they overcome their challenges.

Dragons are found in all sorts of places in these stories. They not only live in caves and roam the skies but are found inside houses and even in schools and libraries. There are those who eat vegetables rather than meat and some that will do anything for a taco.

Many parents love reading stories about dragons to their children. These children often gravitate to stories like this when they begin reading for themselves and continue to read them as young adults. Today there are stories about dragons suitable for every age group, from toddlers to adults and they are widely available.

Many people today choose to buy books online as this offers the option of easily comparing prices and reading reviews to find the most suitable options. Lists of best sellers are also available and there are many forums where parents make suggestions about stories their children have enjoyed. The ones that often have the most appeal for children are those that make them laugh.

Stories that make children laugh are often the ones that are most popular and memorable. Introducing dragons opens up many magical and entertaining possibilities. For a start, they look amazing with their shiny scales, wings, spikes, claws. Secondly, they breathe fire. Of course, they may set their wings on fire by mistake or crash while learning to fly. Children never tire of hearing about their exploits.
