Best Dragon Stories for Little Fantasy Lovers

Successful publishers know that to sell a book, one needs not only a good plot but also an eye-catching design. It goes for any book but for children books even more so. Dragonology: The Complete Book of Dragons, in addition to the highly detailed beautiful illustrations, has a whole range of bonuses like samples of dragon skin, wings, scales, for example, or hidden letters from Merlin, Marco Polo, Saint George. You and your child will learn to track dragons, grow them from eggs, feed the little ones. The most dedicated dragonology students will learn the dragon alphabet and read the runic spell to summon a real dragon!

The one who masters this book will become a true dragon tamer! That is, if they survive...

This book about dragons is generally approved for kids from 8 to 12 years, it has a grade level 3–7 and the necessary Lexile measure is claimed to be 1220L. However, there are customers who bought this book for much younger kids, they just needed to explain some parts to them but otherwise, the youngsters enjoyed Dragonology: The Complete Book of Dragons.

If you like this book about dragons, you might later consider buying the whole series including Wizardology: The Book of the Secrets of Merlin, and Monsterology: The Complete Book of Monstrous Beasts. This will be the treasured magic books collection for your family.

The popularity of this Dragonology book was so great that the famous Universal Studios acquired the rights to the movie production in August 2012. Rumors say the plot will revolve around a villain whose intention is to bend all the dragons to submission and destroy the humankind. To fight him, a group of brave dragonologists goes off on a dangerous journey.

The good thing about any bulk purchase of a series is usually that the books are designed in the same style, often by the same illustrator. Here, each novel has a different dragon on the cover, the one who will be the protagonist, and a different background, but all of them are indeed in the same style. What is also notable, in our opinion, is that the dragons look much more realistic than in many other dragon stories books; their faces are not too human-like, their facial expressions are limited. These dragons are animals, necessarily, even if highly intelligent ones. Please note that these are not books with many pictures but novels. There are drawings of dragon species inside (drawn without shades and with clear lines kids can imitate) but that's it.

Almost all books today are printed in both hardcover and paperback versions, this series is, of course, the same. The sad part here is that the hardcover set is almost five times as expensive as the paperback one. In our opinion, this is a great choice for a Birthday or some other holiday gift as hardcovers always look much more 'presentable'. Paperbacks are the practical decision, they are cheaper and lighter, too, your kid will be able to carry the books around and read dragon stories when they have time. For example during a school field trip in the bus.

1. The first five dragon books are to be read in the following order:
   - The Dragonet Prophecy

4. Between the event of The Dragonet Prophecy and The Dark Secret, only a month passed.
5. Besides the main dragonet, on the covers, you can find other tiny dragons drawn that might be other dragonets.
6. The Dragonet Prophecy has a 4.41 rating on GoodReads (as of the day this review is written).
   

This children dragon stories book features a whole range of images that will make your little one giggle. The pictures are not very realistic but this is made for the sake of story as it is not exactly sensible in any way. Instead, it is kind and funny, just what little kids will enjoy. The dragons look at your kid from the pages with almost human emotions for your child to feel closer to them. This combination of appealing picture and simple story with lots of humor will charm its way into your and your kid's heart immediately.

Dragons Love Tacos is offered in hardcover, paperback, Kindle, and AudioCD format. The latter is not exactly unusual in the modern times yet not every dragon stories book can be found in it. This way, you can not only read your kid a story but playback it narrated by a professional. It's a good way to teach children to read, by the way.

For this book about dragons, the difference in price between the printed versions is not very big. We'd say that the hardcover option is better for those whose kids like to carry their favorite things around with them at all times—hardcovers are more sturdy overall. By the way, we'd like to point out that the book itself is rather big, 10" wide and 10" tall, roughly.

At the end of 2014, the talks started on the topic of releasing Dragons Love Tacos by Adam Rubin in Braille for kids who have problems seeing. Those who buy these dragon stories books will have the kid's name printed in Braille on a special page. In the first few months the project existed, there were several children's book series created, with all copies contributed to the Anchor Center for Blind Children in Denver, CO.

Cressida Cowell is a true fan of her job, she not only writes books but illustrates some of them as well, including this one. The pictures here are intentionally childlike, naïve or even primitive, with little to no realism. This style allows the child to relate to the story better, kids often smile at the images in this How to Train Your Dragon book. Well, adults do too (we certainly did) as it feels a little bit nostalgic and extremely touching.

Cowell is a very dedicated author. By the time the DreamWorks started working on the first movie, she had only written two dragon stories books in the series but by the time the film came to the cinemas, there were already eight of them, popular among children of all ages and adults alike thanks to the intricate adventures with quite a lot of humor and sometimes a little bit of sadness and tragedy.

As of today, the series includes twelve dragon books and several related works. We are certain that after reading the first one your kid will ask for all of them. Here is the main story list:

1. How to Train Your Dragon
2. How to Be A Pirate
3. How to Speak Dragonese
4. How to Cheat A Dragon's Curse
5. How to Twist A Dragon's Tale
6. A Hero's Guide to Deadly Dragons
7. How to Ride A Dragon's Storm
8. How to Break A Dragon's Heart
9. How to Steal A Dragon's Sword
10. How to Seize A Dragon's Jewel
11. How to Betray A Dragon's Hero
12. How to Fight a Dragon's Fury
    

The dragon stories book is also offered in the widest possible range of formats. You can get a hardcover or a paperback to read sitting at your desk with a bookstand or lying in bed, a Kindle version if you prefer a whole library in your pocket, or an audiobook/Audio CD to listen to instead or straining your eyes.

The date for the third movie release was pushed and pushed and pushed. From the original statement promising us 2016 release to 2017, 2018... The latest news is that, due to a corporate restructuring after NBCUniversal purchased DreamWorks, we now have to wait till March 1, 2019. It is also stated that the third movie might be the last one in the franchise. We'll see.

The cover of this book about dragons features the main character, Drake, and his dragon Worm. You will also find many illustrations inside created to help the little reader follow the adventures of Drake, Worm, and their friends in their adventures. The pictures are very cartoon-like, the kids, as well as dragons, display very recognizable human emotions, making the connection between them and the readers. These are essentially children dragon stories, stories for kids about kids. They tell the tale of magic, friendship, and also mistakes and how to fix them, all that in a light and kind manner, without unnecessary cruelty.

The first book is 96 pages long and you can choose between paperback, Kindle, or hardcover, none of them really expensive, even the hardcover. Choose the one that will be the best for you.

There is a dragon year in the Chinese Zodiac, and it is the only year with an imaginary animal as a patron. People born in the Year of Dragon are believed to have sharp tongues so it is no surprise that many famous writers are born Dragons. To name a few: Edgar Allan Poe, Lewis Carroll, Rick Riordan, Penelope Fitzgerald, Marina Tsvetaeva, Ryūnosuke Akutagawa, Veronica Roth, George Bernard Shaw, Charles Perrault. The list can go on very long.
