This struck me while reading a book about mythological creatures to my son. Strange how so many cultures have dragons in their mythologies but can have different takes on them. Personally I think they're pretty damn cool and would like to think they'd be fun to hang out with.

ditto. dragon would be cool, and there is SLIGHT evidence of their existance but they are not around these days...
ReplyDeleteI would totally hang out with a dragon! I totally think the European dragons secretly just want to play.
ReplyDeleteHave you seen the film how to train your dragon? I think they have many different ones in the film although I haven't seen it. I find the dragon in the comic strip Sinfest pretty amusing.
ReplyDeleteThis was a funny take on the contrasting views of dragons in east and west.
At the college I work at, someone painted a mural of a dragon on a stairwell wall. Its been there for years.
ReplyDeleteI work at the Library and a long time ago, the library staff created a dragon out of paper book covers. It was on the wall in the 3rd floor for years until a grumpy librarian decided to remove it last year. Everybody liked it...except for the grumpy librarian.
Hilarious! The green dragon seems like such a delight.

ReplyDeleteI've done a "Design Your Own Dragon" activity with kids in the schools in connection with my Hatching Magic series--the kids come up with really amazing creatures with their own natural histories! O. might really like Peter Dickinson's book THE FLIGHT OF DRAGONS, and there is a great story in E. Nesbit's THE BOOK OF DRAGONS called "The Deliverers of Their Country," one of my favorite dragon stories ever (you can listen to it at librivox). Also highly rec'd is Ursula LeGuin's "The Rule of Names" from the story collection THE WIND'S TWELVE QUARTERS.
