MiL has been telling DD about scary dragons. She now wakes regularly at night now saying bad dreams mummy, dragons eat me up.

So can anyone help me find a book, preferably a board book, about nice friendly dragons, suitable for a 2.3 year old.

Usbourne Touchy-feely hide and seek dragons by Fiona Watt is a good boardbook. There are brightly coloured pictures and, as the title says, there are flaps and tactile bits to the book.

Tell Me A Dragon is a beautiful book of pictures of all sorts of dragons and a line about each of them, totally gorgeous, we've been looking at it since DD was that age.

When The Dragons Came

You'll be able to find it cheaper than on this link I should expect, but basically everyone moves out of town because of the Dragons, but then the Dragons turn out to be really nice and helpful, and were just misunderstood. Smile

Aha, I have that in paper format, she's a little hands on at reading time and regularly rips books, so we've been going down the board book route recently.

Will hook it out for bedtime.

Would appreciate anymore suggestions too.

My 3 yr old ds really likes Zog, by Julia Donaldson. Not sure if its available as a board book. Its lovely to read aloud though.

Zog is a great book by julia donaldson about dragon training etc.
