there's a movie called Dragon's World: A Fantasy Made Real, You Too Will Believe
basically Harry Potter type dragons... a mock archeology, where a guy discovers real dragons, and they show what it might have looked like

Check out the library to see if you can find "Dragons" from the Time-Life Enchanted World series. It has some great dragon stories from around the world.
A terrific reference book for Dragons and other mythical beasts is "The Element Encyclopedia of Magical Creatures" by John & Caitlin Matthews.
"Magical Mythical Mystical Beasts" by D. J. Conway is real good too.

Get all types of movies and books on dragons. Not all of them are going to be shed in a positive light though. Dragons were loved as much as they were feared. Show her the difference of dragons in various cultures: Scottish-UK, Chinese, Indian, etc. as they each mean something different for every culture. Tell her that dragons were used as symbols.
Go to an Imax to see a dragon movie and while your at it, go see some lizard dragons at the zoo and museums. Where I live they have Kimono Dragons which are big lizards- the size of a medium dog!

By chance has she had some major trauma(s) or abuse in her life? I found that when I was interested in dragons & I actually had a dream about them, that I started dealing with some of my "dragons" that needed slaying within myself. I had a lot of anger issues that had to do with my dad. I know this probably sounds cliche, but I am only sharing my experience. It may not help at all, but ya' never know.
A good resource is online. Go to yahoo search engine & type in dragons & there are quite a few good references that come up.
Hope this helps.

get her into playing Dungeons and Dragons --- dispite what some people think it is not about devil worship , but is very educational. Every D&D player has several books to read, math problems to figure out (percentage to hit or to sucede) and learns how to work towards a goal. Not to mention the team work aspects of the game, D&D is a very good idea for the young dragon loving, game playing, Imaginative adventurer.

Lots of colorful books on butterflies and cats, basically animals, are out there. I think she'd also want to know. Do not discourage her with the dragons. Just try to veer her interest to other topics.
Science books on the human body and planets might also appeal to her and give her a good head start to having a good understanding of it, especially later when it's already taught to her in school.

Take her to a museum to see dinosaur bones. We have them here at the local University in our science hall. Free to the public! It'll give a better perspective on the awsum size!

A good fiction book for her to read is Eragon by Christopher Paolini.
