FACING, FIGHTING, & DEFEATING The Red Dragon of Pride: The Chronicles of Sir Rolland Paterlot (The 7 Deadly Dragons)

The Red Dragon of Pride is the first book in a captivating series of seven. It teaches children about pridefulness and the dangers that can come from being too prideful in an engaging and age-appropriate way. The story is catchy and entertaining, keeping readers interested from beginning to end and making them want to continue reading. It is a thoughtful book that offers an important lesson while still being fun and enjoyable for children.

I picked up Facing, Fighting, & Defeating The Red Dragon of Pride: The Chronicles of Sir Rolland Paterlot (The 7 Deadly Dragons) out of curiosity, and I found it to be a unique and thought-provoking read. The story uses a fantasy-style narrative to explore the theme of pride in a very symbolic and engaging way, which makes it different from a typical self-help or inspirational book. The writing is descriptive and imaginative, and the “dragon” metaphor for pride is easy to understand while still feeling meaningful. I appreciated how the book blends storytelling with life lessons, making it more engaging than a straightforward motivational read. It encourages reflection on personal character and behavior in a way that feels accessible. The pacing is steady, and the chapters are structured in a way that makes it easy to follow. It feels like a mix between a moral allegory and a fantasy adventure, which could appeal to readers who enjoy both genres. That said, the style may not be for everyone. Some readers might prefer a more direct or modern approach to self-improvement content rather than a symbolic or medieval storytelling format. At times, the narrative can feel a bit formal or repetitive depending on personal taste. Overall, this is an interesting and creative book with a strong moral message about overcoming pride. I would recommend it to readers who enjoy allegorical stories, faith-based themes, or motivational lessons wrapped in fantasy storytelling.

This is a wonderful book!!! We bought it as a First Communion gift and have read it as a family. It's a great story line that is engaging while still upholds a strong moral code!

My 11yo son LOVED this book and asked me to buy the others. I left it on his nightstand one night to see if he'd pick it up and he read it in 2 days. Great way to keep your child's mind aware of their soul

My nephews love this series. Their parents appreciate the values taught.

Seriously the most amazing book to bring our family closer to God. It takes a fantasy vibe mixed with morals and values of the church and makes a book that not only my son loves , but that I enjoy reading to him too. My son started his classes to prepare him for first holy communion next year and I feel this is a great introduction to prepare him for living a life closer to God. It has a great story and doesn’t feel too preachy. We are excited to get the other books in the series!

Such a great series with a good message. My children (from 4 years old to 12 years old) love these books. I appreciate how the Catholic faith is presented. So funny and engaging for kids.

My daughter loved this book. She loved the Biblical connections and having it be fantasy.

Loved it. Very clever with an adventurous story line and weaving in catholic concepts regarding truth and doing the right thing. Writes about temptations facing characters regarding pride in being the best, and looking down on other kids who are not as talented. Very readable. Mentions confessions, going to mass, scapulars.
