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.
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.
Traditionally fire-breathing dragons bring destruction with every breath. The dragons in these stories for kids often use their fiery breathe for other purposes such as toasting marshmallows. Self conscious dragons may have difficulty breathing fire and some do not breathe fire at all. It is often the juxtaposition of fantasy and the mundane that creates the comedy.
These dragons do not always have a taste for humans. Some of them do not even eat meat but prefer vegetables. There are others who enjoy tacos so much that they can be lured to a party by serving large buckets of these eats. Some of them eat animals but they bring them up again because eating them makes them too fat.
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.
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.
