More about the book, from the title page...
Most people know that the famous fairy tales of the world have changed since they were first created hundreds of years ago. The plots, the settings, even the characters-there have been many changes to these stories as they were passed from generation to generation and from country to country.
What most people don't know, however, is that one of the biggest changes to many of our famous fairy tales is the fact that the original characters populating these stories were often bearded dragons. Exactly why they were gradually replaced over the centuries, with other animal and human characters, is the subject of intense academic debate. But for this book, we have dug deeply into the folklore of the distant past to bring you the original, largely forgotten versions of 10 famous fairy tales, all of them featuring one or more bearded dragon characters.
Please enjoy the memorable scenes that we have selected from each of these stories. Like our first popular coloring book, Bearded Dragon Daydreams, we expect your spunky lizard will love coloring these pages with you. At the same time, we encourage you to read the text aloud to your little friend. While most bearded dragons are not confident readers, they do enjoy being read to and will listen very attentively. And, in this case, with stories that honor the rightful place of bearded dragons in world literature, their beards will surely swell with pride.
In short, this book offers not only wholesome fun for beardies and their larger companions, it provides the opportunity to strengthen the fine motor skills of their little hands, stretch their creative imagination, and, more importantly still, enhance their self-esteem.
Bearded Dragon Fairy Tales was another labor of love from a father, a son, and our illustrator friend. If you like it, we would be very grateful if you'd share this book, and Bearded Dragon Daydreams, with other fans of bearded dragons. And your kind review at Amazon, the global Amazon sites, and Goodreads would also be truly appreciated.
