Dragons Are Real
Dragons are Real
A Virtual Book Tour
Childhood is supposed to full of fun, creative thought, fantasy. Often times, kids are presented with opportunities to learn through books so quickly that the books focused on fantasy get pushed aside. This seems to be true particularly for boys today. As soon as they show an interest in books parents are quick to point to non-fiction books focused on science, outdoor activities, sports.
I know from experience this is often because little boys quickly show interest in such things. And getting boys to read books is a huge success, so we do not worry too much about the topics.
The thing is, fantasy deserves a place on the bookshelves of our kiddos, and yes even our boys. And that is why I am so excited to share this wonderful fantasy book for your kids today. This book is full of dragons, and what they are really like. It is the perfect addition to any home library, particularly if you have a boy or two under your roof, and want their imaginations to soar a little.
I hope you enjoy this stop on the tour. Make sure to make it to the end of the post to enter the giveaway!

Title: Dragons are Real | Author: Valarie Budayr | Illustrator: Michael Welply Publisher: Audrey Press | Publication Date: May 5, 2016 | Genre: Children's Picture Book Number of Pages: 32
Book Description:
What if I told you that all of the fairy tales, myths, and legends that have been told about dragons over the years are WRONG? What if I told you that Dragons are indeed REAL and that they are different than you've ever imagined? Did you know that Dragons are the master of disguises? Did you know that they love sugar and sweets (at unacceptable levels) and will do anything for treats? Award-winning author Valarie Budayr brings us this fairly true story based on her childhood friendship with a REAL live Dragon.

He studied art in Winnipeg and then in Paris, but his idea of living from the sales of his paintings is somewhat compromised by the lack of buyers.

Since then he has worked for publishers in both Europe and North America. To date, he has illustrated over 80 books and more than 100 covers, in a wide range of subjects extending from detailed non-fiction to juvenile and adult fiction in the realms of fantasy, mythology, science fiction and fairy tales.
