Tales of dragons and sea serpents have captured the attention of man for centuries. Ancient cultural artifacts tell the tales of brave warriors fighting these creatures. With legends of dragons being so numerous, it’s easy to see that some type of creature did exist. Just what were these creatures of old? Do they still exist? What about tales of the Lock Ness Monster? Could they also be true?
Dragon: Legends & Lore of Dinosaurs takes us on a journey through time as we learn about the legends of dragons and dragon slayers from across the globe. The interactive nature of the book allows kids to be actively involved in the reading. From Babylon to Greece to China to America to the United Kingdom to Africa, you will read legends which tell tales of dragons. You will see ancient artifacts that show drawings, carvings, and sculptures of dragons. You will hear eye witness accounts of encounters with monsters.
Once you begin your reading, you may start to wonder – what is a dragon? Could they really exist? What is a dinosaur? Are these things Biblical? The book goes into detail about these subjects and more. Be warned, these are taught from a Creationist viewpoint. As in, dinosaurs/dragons roaming the earth at the same time as humans. If you do not want to believe in such teachings, you will want to put down the book and walk away. On the other hand, if you want to see things a little differently than you may have been taught, you can put on your Creation colored glasses and keep reading.
After you learn about dinosaurs, dragons, and the Bible, you will learn how to say dragon in several different languages. You’ll dive into the world of saints and slayers of old. A few more legends and tales must be told before you can read more Biblical questions and answers. Beautiful pictures enhance your journey through Dragons: Legends & Lore of Dinosaurs.
As you can probably tell from my description of the book, we very much enjoyed this book at our house. The interactive nature of the book, the stories, and illustrations are wonderful. It’s a fun book that makes you think.
