Choice of reading material for children is vitally important, especially for young boys who might think of reading as being a boring occupation. Funny dragon books for boys can appeal to their fascination with dragons as well as to their sense of humor. There are many stories about dragons available today with diverse characters, entertaining plots and wonderful illustrations. If you can find a book that makes your child laugh out loud, this may be the spark that begins a lifetime love of stories.

Some of the dragons of old were thought to bring good luck but others were seen as ferocious creatures. In modern stories for children, dragons may be seen as fierce creatures but they are also seen in many other lights too. They are befriended, rescued from danger and even become pets. In a modern world, authors of stories for children have their dragons facing different struggles and challenges from those of the past.

When portraying the characters of these dragons, authors have allowed their imaginations to run free. They are quirky, grumpy, brave, mystical and mischievous. Most of them still have wings and claws but they come in all sorts of different sizes and colors.

Mixing these magnificent fire-breathing, mystical creatures with ordinary events every child faces, can create some really comic incidents. For example, there are dragons who use their fire to make toast for breakfast. Some of them hiccup when they try to breathe fire and have a real complex about this. Others do not even breathe out fire at all but breathe teddy bears, band-aids and marshmallows instead.

In the stories of old, dragons would eat birds, snakes, rats, bats, or even humans, especially children. Modern day dragons in stories for children have very different tastes. Some of them are confirmed vegetarians. Others have a taste for tacos and can be enticed to attend a party by supplying a huge bucket of them. Unfortunately, chaos results when they eat the salsa.

The behavior of dragons in stories is unpredictable to say the least. Just when a child thinks it is great fun to have a scaly fire-breather as a pet, they may be introduced to the complications involved in having to take responsibility for it. It is often the combination of the extremely ordinary and practical with the absurd and fantastic that creates the comedy.

Children do not appreciate stories that too obviously try to bring across lessons. However, they will always be extremely receptive to a story with interesting characters and a well constructed plot, particularly one which makes them laugh. The best authors can often convey some message about relationships, self image and other issues without being obvious at all. When this is done with humor, it often has an influence on a child and can even make a lasting impact.

It seems that children never get their fill of stories about dragons, particularly ones with good plots and vibrant illustrations. Such books are available from many sources, including online stores. There are many resources online for parents, guiding them to the best ones. Best seller lists are also available and it is possible to read reviews to help make a choice. A book that will make a boy chuckle with delight is a sure winner.
