Dragon Stories for Kids

None of the dragons here are scary. Emberleaf, from the Bloomheart Dragon Tales, is a small green dragon who breathes flowers instead of fire and would much rather stay in bed than get up for the sunrise. His stories are slow and kind, full of gardens, changing seasons and small animal friends, so they work well at bedtime.

For something sillier, Flare flies with The Brotherhood of Justice: a knight, a wizard and a dwarf on a skateboard who look after the kingdom of Stonebridge. Their problems include a castle with the hiccups, the king's missing pants and a tidying spell that will not stop. And in Whisperwood, Puffin the baby dragon sneezes stars, which is lovely right up until one lands on a friend's picnic.

Dragons are a gentle way into big feelings. A creature that looks fierce but feels shy, lonely or grumpy is easy for a child to recognise. For more magic and make-believe, browse our imagination stories.
