an the dragons miss the days of olde when there were knights in shinning armor. They were crunchy on the out-side and soft and tender on the in-side....

So the good doctor said, " Thank you for the cat" and proceeded to make ketchup....

She/He? OK, so I came into the middle of the story, it's a drag.

Hi Murp, I haven't heard them called dragonbard, but they have two base themes, dragon riders as one, dragon songs as another. Then they branch out from there, what do'y think, about 2 dozen books in the series? I do know that when we've given them to kids the responce in most cases is very positive. They start to read and talk with the "old folks" about the books, story plot, etc. So maybe we are talking about the same author, just calling the series differently? Lou

I'd like to recommend two authors for kids who don't like reading very much. Anne McCaffrey, the dragon series for starters. Andre Norton, almost anything by her. There are wonderful authors out there and it's nice to have kids reading what you have read in the past. It opens up strong lines of communications that help bridge gaps between adults and kids.
