Buy Funny Dragon Books For Boys

By Rosella Campbell


Dragons are mythical creatures that have been around for centuries. Their popularity never seems to wane. In the past, they have usually been depicted as fierce creatures that can torch whole villages with one breathe. In modern stories, however, the characters of the dragons are very diverse. Funny dragon books for boys cater to their fascination with dragons but can make them laugh out loud and may even result in a lifelong appreciation for reading.

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 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.

Mixing these magnificent fire-breathing, mystical creatures with ordinary events every child faces, can create some really comic incidents. For example, there are dragons who use their fire to make toast for breakfast. Some of them hiccup when they try to breathe fire and have a real complex about this. Others do not even breathe out fire at all but breathe teddy bears, band-aids and marshmallows instead.

The tastes of these modern dragons also differs from those in ancient tales that devoured humans and animals without a second thought. Some of them do not even like meat and have decided it is better to be a vegetarian. Others can be lured to attend parties by providing large buckets of tacos.

The unpredictable behavior of dragons offers the opportunity for many comic situations. A child may have a relationship with one of these fire-breathing, scaly creatures and experience all sorts of strange and amusing situations as a result of this. This can often open their eyes and help them to learn more about life and relationships in the context of a fun adventure story.

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.

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.
