2 Short Dragon Bedtime Stories to Read Tonight
Two short dragon stories for kids you can read aloud right here – friendly dragons, no scary bits, and sleepy endings.
The Dragon Who Was Afraid of Fire
Pip was a little green dragon who lived in a cave full of bigger dragons. Every dragon in the cave could breathe fire – great orange flames that lit up the night. But whenever Pip tried, he squeezed his eyes shut, because fire was hot and loud and a little bit scary.
One cold winter night, the snow fell so thick that the cave grew freezing. The big dragons were asleep, and the baby dragons began to shiver. Pip took a deep breath. He didn’t roar. He didn’t blast. He just breathed out slowly – and a tiny, gentle flame appeared, as warm and soft as a candle.
The baby dragons snuggled around it. “Your fire is the best kind,” whispered the smallest one. “It’s the cosy kind.” Pip smiled, kept his little flame glowing until everyone was asleep, and then curled up with them – the warmest dragon in the whole cave.
Luna and the Dragon Under the Bed
Luna was sure something was under her bed. She heard a soft rumble. Then a tiny snore. She peeked over the edge – and saw a small purple dragon curled up on her slippers.
“Are you a monster?” Luna whispered. The dragon opened one sleepy eye. “No,” it yawned. “I’m a night-time dragon. I guard children’s dreams so the bad ones can’t get in.” Luna thought about that. “Then why are you under my bed?” “Because it’s cosy,” said the dragon. “And because your dreams are my favourite.”
Luna smiled, lay back on her pillow and pulled up her blanket. “Goodnight, dragon.” “Goodnight, Luna,” rumbled the dragon. And Luna’s dreams that night were full of purple wings and starry skies.
