    Everyone knows that dinosaurs lived millions of years before humans, right?

    If humans and dinosaurs had lived at the same time there should be some evidence and there isn't...or is there?

    What exactly are dragons?

    Are they a mythical creature that never really existed? Or could they be (or have been) real?

    Dragons - Legends & Lore of Dinosaurs published by Master Books, seeks to answer these questions. This book describes various dragon legends from around the world and historical eyewitness accounts. It also shows where dragons are mentioned in the Bible as well as in several Biblical commentaries.

    From that description alone, I would be interested in reading this book, but I haven't mentioned the best part.

    The sturdy, over-sized book is filled with flaps to open, envelopes containing removable documents, and miniature books. It is completely irresistible for a child! (I highly recommend keeping it out of young children's reach for that reason. You're not going to want this book damaged.) The illustrations are beautiful, and the text is full of interesting facts about both dragons and dinosaurs.

    It is a fantastic resource and I highly recommend purchasing it for your home library.

    Disclosure: I received a copy of Dragons - Legends & Lore of Dinosaurs to review. I was not compensated for this post. All opinions expressed are my own.

    Since we have started reading the DragonKeeper Chronicles by Donita K. Paul, my children have become dragon lovers. They are always talking about dragons--this trait or that trait. Their exposure to dragon lore has been limited up to this point to fiction, so when I saw this book and had the opportunity to review it, they were all saying "Yes! Please get it!"

    This book is where legend breaks out of modern fiction novels and explodes throughout history, digging to separate fact from fiction. Could dragons have really existed? One interesting point is brought up immediately: cultures all over the world have dragon legends from their history. How did this come to be?

    The pages of the book begin by looking at common elements of dragon lore. The authors say, "taking the supernatural elements out and sticking to clearly defined accounts and historical records, there is a logical explanation for the worldwide prevalence of dragon legends." What are dragons and how could they possibly have existed? Well, I don't want to spoil the story for you, but maybe the full title of the book has already given it away.

    Beautifully illustrated, and interactive, this book is engaging and inviting. There are envelopes with papers to pull out and read, mini pop-up type books, fold-out pages with more information (did you know that "dragons" appear 22 times in the Old Testament in the King James Version of the Bible? You'll want to have your favorite translation on hand to compare!). It is as fun as a children's book, but it is not a children's book! The text is at a reading level that will challenge your tween/young teen. It is built on documented facts and well-written. Research is compiled in a collective order, but is not watered-down. Your child can read this book again and again, digesting and learning more each time. The book makes an excellent gift for a child who will respect and take care of it. (Hint: it needs to be kept out of reach of my 4 year old and 2 year old, who will simply rip things open, lose parts, etc.)

    Perhaps this book demystifies dragons a little bit. Does that take the fun out of reading dragon stories? Nah. I think it is incredibly interesting to read dragon legends from around the world, and this book introduces and puts names to them for further research. Secondly, it is also interesting to connect dragons to dinosaurs and explore from there. One of my favorite pictures in the book is on the last page: a dragon, with a castle in the background, is peering into a still pond of water. His reflection looking back is simply a T-Rex. Sweet!

    I received a complimentary copy of this book for review from the New Leaf Publishing Group. I was not required to write a positive review. My thoughts and opinions are my own.

    Remember the old stories of dragons? Remember the cartoons and fairy tales based on the legends of the dragons? Well, now Master Books has produced a beautifully illustrated book about the connection between the myths of dragons and facts about dinosaurs. Inside the twenty four pages of this full color hard cover book old and young alike can explore exciting information about these awesome creatures. Each page is packed with information–from the superb illustrations to the little surprise pockets, tabs, and booklets scattered throughout the book–you and your children will find a wealth of information. When I first saw this book I assumed it was strictly a children's book but soon realized that it will captivate both young and old alike. This is a great tool for creation study in a home school or church environment. I am confident that this is one book that will be opened again and again.
