Choose Funny Dragon Books For Boys

By Rosella Campbell


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 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.

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.

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.
