Storytime with the Book Dragon

A friendly dragon settles in with a book. He holds the pages in both claws, eyes bright and focused. His horns curve back in smooth stripes, and small ear frills frame his cheek. The picture on the page shows a little tree and a round sun.

Beside him, a neat stack of chunky books waits for turn number two. Round scales dot his arm and side, and bold belly bands make tidy spaces to color. Spiky plates trail down his neck like tiny mountains. His soft smile says he is happy to read, quiet and cozy.

Fun Fact!

In some Chinese legends, a carp that successfully leaps over a waterfall known as the Dragon Gate can transform into a powerful dragon.

Coloring Tips

  1. 1 Color the belly bands a pale shade, then trace each stripe slightly darker for pop.
  2. 2 Blend two greens on his body: darker on the back plates, lighter on the face and arms.
  3. 3 Give each book a different bright cover and add tiny pretend titles on the spines.
  4. 4 Add a warm halo of light around the open book to make reading time glow.
