Stories and myths about monstrous dragons and their supernatural abilities have kept children awake and agog throughout the centuries. Various versions of these winged, magical creatures exist in folklore and tales of all cultures. Nobody knows dragons better than children, because only kids have the ability to speak and understand dragon language.
Children love dragon stories and all kids can relate to these mythical creatures that are so creatively portrayed in a childrens book about dragons. Huge, scary dragons appeal to the heroic instinct of boys who fantasize about slaying them. Girls dream about being rescued from these monsters by a handsome knight who wants to marry them.
Dragons must have some very special qualities to make them so popular. Young and old enjoy dragon stories. One can only wonder why mankind remain so intrigued by a phantom character that is not even real.
Every kid knows the answer to that question. They KNOW that dragons are real and alive and living between us. The fact that grownups have lost the sensory skills to see, hear and communicate with them, does not make them less real . . . So, if you want to know what a dragon really looks like and says, you just have to ask a kid.
Dragons come in many shapes and sizes. Some are kind, some are bad. They can be gentle giants, or cruel, man-eating monsters. In the realm where giants live, there are no human laws or limits - it's a dragon dreamworld!
Today, there are literally a whole world of dragons for kids to play with and read about. Popular characters in the dragon world, such as Puff, the Magic Dragon, pop up like magic in video games, coloring books, pencil boxes, TV programs, puzzles, stickers and even on candy wrappers. Dragon lovers can take their favorite hero everywhere with them - even to bed in the form of a dragon doll or a printed duvet cover and pillow case! Children can even check out all facts about them on a new Kids Wikipedia about Dragons.
Clever artists and illustrators know there is no scientific proof of what a dragon truly looks like, and that only children can see them. That's why they listen to kids and study children's drawings of dragons to get an idea of how to portray them. Unlike in the human world, dragons can be any color, size or shape. Some can fly, while others have long legs and huge claws to jump across mountains and oceans. Cruel, man eating dragons have horns and razor sharp teeth, while baby dragons are cute and cuddly.
Kids will tell you that baby dragons come from huge eggs. When they are ready to be born, they crawl out of the egg and start walking or flying straight away. Good dragons always have to protect themselves and the universe from the cruel, fire-spitting monsters and in the world of dragons, the good always wins!
It is still a mystery where dragons come from and where they live. Tales from the Middle Ages portray them as cruel, blood-thirsty land dwelling man eaters. In the days of Christopher Columbus, it was believed that they live in the sea. Most dragons have huge wings, indicating that they might even live somewhere up high in the sky or on another planet from where they watch and visit us.
Nobody can say with certainty that dragons never existed in prehistoric times. We don't know if they originated from myths and folklore during the days of dinosaurs. We do know, however, that they still fascinate and intrigue people and as long as children can see, hear and draw them, speak to them, play with them and read about them, dragons will be around!
