Five Picture Books about Dragons


In honour of St George's Day yesterday, here are five dragon filled picture books to enjoy at home. 

In Ten Little Princesses, one fearless princess has to defend her friends from a fire breathing dragon. This story has been very well read in our house and the series is one of our favourites. 

The knight in The One-Stop Story Shop has to find a new adventure when the dragon he's preparing to battle goes on holiday. The shop is full of so many exciting storylines that by the time the dragon returns, the knight has discovered a new world of adventures to set out on. 

Room on the Broom is one of our favourite stories. I've read this so many times I can tell it to my children by heart. The dragon in this story likes eating witch and chips, but luckily the witch has some clever friends ready to rescue her. 

Marmaduke is different. The other dragons tease him for his large ears and unusual wings. But sometimes being different is useful, and brings new opportunities for fun and friendship. 

The Trouble with Dragons is that they don't look after the world around them, polluting the atmosphere and wasting food. This is a cautionary tale of the importance of protecting the environment.
