Dragon books for children, and the dragons that star in them, are as different at the author’s imagination.

For the most part, the dragon seems to be portrayed as the evil villan. And according to folklore, they were.

Snarls is the dragon in my fantasy kids books series.

Book three, Sir Princess Petra’s Mission, is forthcoming December, 2015.

Any just to reassure you, Snarls is nothing like the description of the green dragon in folklore, even though he is green.

Green Dragons in Folklore http://www.draconika.com/types.php

The green dragon is a belligerent creature and master of intrigue, politics, and backbiting. He is cruel. He prefers forests—the older and bigger the trees, the better. Instead of being overtly aggressive, he prefers to concoct elaborate schemes to gain power or wealth with as little effort as possible. He may make his lair behind a waterfall or near a lake, pond, or stream that provides a submerged entrance. The closer one gets to his lair, the darker the woods become. Evil hangs in the air, mingling with the forest scents to produce foul odors.http://www.draconika.com/types.php

The only similarity I see in Snarls as compared to the green dragon of folklore is that Snarls does live in the forest–The Forest of Doom. That does sound scary, but the forest is named The Forest of Doom because it belongs to the Doom Family. Snarls’s full name is, Snarls Lotsapuff Doom.

Snarls has actually been described as “endearing” by one book reviewer. Learn more about Snarls and some of the characters from book one, Sir Princess Petra – The Pen Pieyu Adventure, where you can also download a free coloring book.
