And even though this is one of the best dragon books for kids, it is also a delightful and fun read for adults as well!īuy Dragon Rider now on Bookshop or Amazon!Īnother amazing dragon book series you’ll want to get your hands on right now is the Enchanted Forest Chronicles, starting with the first book Dealing With Dragons.
