Elvira by Margaret Shannon - A very funny story about a dragon who'd rather wear dresses and make daisy chains than chase princesses.
The Egg by M.P.Robertson - Gorgeous fantasy-style dragon artwork and a sweet story about family and belonging.
The Paper Bag Princess by Robert Munsch - I adore this story of the feisty princess who outsmarts the dragon and decides to go solo rather than marry a snobby prince.
The Knight and the Dragon by Tomie De Paola - There are several textless panels in this book, but the visual humor is clear. It took minimal ad-libbing to convey the idea of both the dragon and the knight not being very good at fighting each other and deciding to open a BBQ together instead.
Movie
Teacher From the Black Lagoon (DVD) - We didn't have any medieval dragon films, so I chose a "Black Lagoon" series film where the evil teacher strongly resembles a dragon and breathes fire. They loved it!
Craft
Handprint Dragon - This craft was really fun and not terribly messy. Some of the five and six year olds had a hard time cutting out the handprints, but otherwise no problems. Lots of cute kids making their craft dragons roar at each other towards the end.
