Once Upon a Dragon: Stranger Safety for Kids (and Dragons)

This is the first book in the "dragon series" that we came across. We now have the entire collection and often give the sets as presents. These stories are a fun way to deliver important messages in a non-threatening way. The rhyming text is a joy to read and both of my sons (3 and 5) have enjoyed them. Since this book walks you through a series of traditional children's stories, it is a good idea to give your child an appreciation for the original story line. Even if they don't have that background (which mine did not the first time), they will likely still enjoy it. They just won't see the humor in it. Enjoy!

I LOVE THIS BOOK!!....I am teaching stranger safety to my class and I read them this book. They loved it. They can really relate to the characters because they are familiar nursery rhymes. Hansel and Gretle, Cinderella, little red riding hood, the 3 little pigs. There is a wonderful stranger safety poem at the end of the book also. My class is 1st grade but this would be great for K-3rd.

This book teaches his dragon-buddy about the importance of staying clear of strangers. My girls love that the kid is the hero and saves his friend.

I like this book for my 4 year olds.... it introduces them to the idea of not going with strangers but it doesn't scare them either. Good choice.

I love this book! It's a wonderful way to learn about stranger safety and its fun too. The dragon is so cute and funny. When I was little i really liked No Dragons for tea because i used to be scared of fires. I read this book to my little brother.
