In reply to Kim Blair. Hi Kim, There is an illustration like that in Marigold and the Dragon, but other than that, the description doesn't ring a bell.

I am dying to find out if a memory is just in my imagination or real - it concerns a book about a Dragon that might have been from the 1960's or even earlier as I had it at that time. I'm wondering if it might have been called The Lonely Dragon or something similar.(My research has shown there is a book by that name but it's much more current). Not even sure that;s what it was called. All I really remember was an illustration of a sad dragon. He had his tail tucked under him, his head was down and he might have been crying even. Very sad. But hoping it had a happier finish. Again, not sure of the title but that was the theme. Do you have ant thoughts or any other avenues to pursue. Thanks so much if you can help.

Where the Mountain Meets the Moon is one of my top 5 favorite books ever!! I love it.

I really enjoyed the Dragon Slippers series by Jessica Day George.

I second Saint George and the Dragon with illustrations by Margaret Hodges. Absolutely stunning! Also a very new book by Brandon Hale is the 3rd book in a series, Prince Martin and the Dragons. Incredible shortish chapter books for middle readers but my 6year old is obsessed with dragons and LOVES me to read it out loud. The other two in the series are fantastic as well and are excellent for enforcing bravery, doing whatis right and loyalty. If you read it be prepared for a surprise!!!

Great list. My middle loves dragons. He is going into second grade and has just started reading chapter books. His favorite series right now is the Dragon Master series by Tracy West. They are short books with big print and pictures to match the text as well as short chapters. He feels as if he is a big kid reading them.

I just found your list of dragon-themed books and my just turned 6 and 8-year olds are LOVING "Where the Mountain Meets the Moon". Thank you for the great recommendation. Now... I'm a preschool teacher who needs some dinosaur-themed book ideas for 4 and 5-year olds. Any suggestions? Did your own dragon lovers ever have a dinosaur phase ? :-)

Thank you, thank you, thank you for this fabulous list! Working on a storytime for an after-school reading group and this jump-started so many ideas. Awesome!

This is a great list! Three of my daughter's all time favorites are in the chapter books.
