Choose Funny Dragon Books For Boys

By Rosella Campbell


Fire-breathing dragons have been featured in stories dating back centuries and they are just as popular today. However, the dragons that are found in stories for children today are quite different from those depicted in days gone by. It is possible to buy funny dragon books for boys today that will not only fascinate them but tickle their sense of humor too. These dragons may still have wings, claws and breathe fire but this is often where the similarity ends.

Some of the dragons of old were thought to bring good luck but others were seen as ferocious creatures. In modern stories for children, dragons may be seen as fierce creatures but they are also seen in many other lights too. They are befriended, rescued from danger and even become pets. In a modern world, authors of stories for children have their dragons facing different struggles and challenges from those of the past.

The imagination of authors is given free reign when creating their characters. They are grumpy, magical, mystical, humorous, quirky and shy. There are sky dragons, ice dragons and snaggle toothed dragons. They are those who are not mean at all but lonely and looking for friendship. There are even dragons that are afraid of mice.

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.

Apart from pure fun and entertainment, there are many other educational benefits that come with reading. The vocabulary of the child improves, the imagination is stretched and if parents and children discuss the stories together, it helps to stimulate thinking skills. Reading an amusing story to a boy can be a great bonding experience, with parent and child laughing together at the comic antics.

It seems that children never get their fill of stories about dragons, particularly ones with good plots and vibrant illustrations. Such books are available from many sources, including online stores. There are many resources online for parents, guiding them to the best ones. Best seller lists are also available and it is possible to read reviews to help make a choice. A book that will make a boy chuckle with delight is a sure winner.
