I know they like the Dragon, in Aregon, but do children like Dragons that are mean and cruel and selfish and breath fire? Those are my Dragons, and maybe I want to write a childrens book, because its easyer to write childrens books than real books lol, but I cant if they dont like Dragons, so its very important to know!!!

North, or nearly so
It is not necessarily easier to write for kids

Don't kid yourself kids know what they like and it isn't necessarily what adults like. Depending on the age you plan to write for, you might have watch the scare factor for younger ones.

I've heard (from dragons) that eating children gives you gas. Better to stock up on Tums first. Just sayin'

Check out the death of the dragon in the first Time Warp Trio book, Knights of the Kitchen Table:

(spoiler alert) It fights an giant who has terrible gas, and, well, you know what happens when you light a fire too close to gas...

Kaboom!

Anyway--on the serious side, if you want a serious answer:

Kids love dragons. Of all sorts.

So do writers. And since Eragon there have been WAY too many dragon books published. So a new dragon book will have to be superduper fresh and original.

Just a warning.
