Stories of Dragons

Reach for this book when your child is transitioning from picture books to longer stories and needs a boost of confidence in their independent reading. It is a perfect choice for a child who feels a little small in a big world and finds comfort in stories where wit and courage triumph over giant obstacles. This collection features three distinct tales from different global traditions, including the famous legend of St. George and a charming story from China. Beyond the scales and fire, the book explores themes of bravery, creative problem-solving, and the wonder of the natural world. It offers a gentle introduction to mythology without being overly dark, making it an ideal bedtime read or a first chapter book for early elementary students who are ready for more complex narratives but still appreciate beautiful illustrations on every page.
