The Dragonslayers is a children's chapter book and probably isn't going to be a very worthwhile read to anyone any older, but this was my absolute *favorite* book as a child. Even today I'm not much of a book re-reader, but when I was in elementary school I probably read this book close to 10 times over. If you have a young child that likes to read but isn't ready for YA novels, or one that you want to get into reading, I highly recommend trying to pick this book up for them.I'm so glad to have finally found this book (after looking through over 300 books in the Fantasy&gt;Dragons category here on Good Reads) as I've spent years now trying to remember the title... All I could remember was that it was "Dragon-(something)" and came from our school's Scholastic Book Club. Thanks, Good Reads for helping me finally reconnect with my childhood nostalgia!

The Dragonslayers

I just finished reading this to my six year old daughter. She quite enjoyed it. At first I was just reading it before bedtime, but she started asking me to read it during the day on weekends. It was my first time reading a chapter book to her and it was a great experience!  I read/listened to this book countless times as a child. There was an audiobook version at the library that my brother and I would listen to over and over again. Even 25+ years later, there were times when I was reading out loud where I could hear the "Words Take Wing Productions" full cast audio playing in my head. The only thing that would make it better is if I could find the full cast soundtrack from the theater adaptation (written by the author) that was included on Side B of the last tape! This probably deserves less stars, but I have too much nostalgia to be objective-- four stars it is!
