Love it, looking forward to showing it to the little guy I work with.
Recently purchased the Personal Space book & it is so helpful when a parent sits next to the child & then they read the book together & the parent can add to the story with examples that the child has exhibited. I have quite a few of the books & use the appropriate topic when required in session. thanks so much for these wonderful tools!!!
My daughter enjoyed reading this books series. We talked about Diggory the dragon to help with emotions and handling no.
Very cute book! My students liked going through and learning about different abilities. I used this during Autism Acceptance Week to talk about other differences we can celebrate.
As a therapist, these books are great! They work great with all ages!
Our grandson was JUST LIKE the dragon in the story. This book helped him see why he needed sleep and made him more agreeable to mom and dad to go to bed. Thank you!
We played this video for our last week of elementary summer school to highlight that everyone is working on different skills, and we're all pretty great!
Me and my daughter read a book every night and we have almost all of the series and she listens to these books more than she does her own parents. The lessons are great for the kids.
If your child like dragon and has been through trauma this is for them.
Our collection of My Dragon books is slowly but surely growing. My child fell in love with the books at school. It is challenging finding relevant, engaging books that teach Social-Emotional Learning (SEL) but these are the solution.

The book does a great job of showing how it's ok to make mistakes. The rhymes are cute, and the examples are very relatable for kids. It really resonated with my 6-year-old avid reader.
I introduced this to my three year old along with stranger danger kid videos. It’s all helpful, especially pointing that strangers can come off kind and with good intentions. Love the dragon having the child innocence, and the little boy is reasoning with him.
It seems very basic when you read it, but it’s effective! Especially if your child loves dragons. My 5-year-old child was having anger problems at home and school and we bought this as a tool to help learn to handle those big feelings. We’ve definitely noticed a difference. We had her bring it to school to read as well as a reminder when she was having those big feelings… the teacher loved it so much she bought some of these books for her classroom!
These songs are great! I wish they were on Spotify or YouTube though so I could add them to my kids playlist.
My toddler started lying to me, so I hour this book to help me teach her why lying is bad. She loves dragons so that was a huge plus. The story is easy to understand and teaches exactly what I wanted it to. My toddler is 3 and we have read it multiple times upon her request!
Home schooling
it's really nice when you learn about empathy and help others by knowing how they feel per my 7 yr old. This series has been really nice and appreciated by kids and parents alike
I have anxiety and this book helped me learn about how to control it. I would recommend this book to other people who have anxiety issues like me!
We started with one and now we have almost 20! I recommend these to therapists, and any other families I meet with kids under 13. Our therapists have loved these books for our 7 year old. We've dealt with changing custody, doctors, therapists, schools, school bullies, lying, pet death and more, but no matter what we seem to always be able to find one that talks about any situation life throws at us. Mr. Herman is a blessing in our household, and I hope he continues to write more fabulous children's books.
I just ordered either my fifth or sixth book for my grandson, who loves Drew and Diggory so much. Not sure how I stumbled across these in the Amazon rabbit hole, but am so happy with the effect they've had on him struggling with regulating his emotions, understanding his feelings, problem solving, and controlling his body. As an almost-five year old, the rhyming text is delightful for him; and he has these books memorized. TBH, I find the illustrations just grotesque, but it's not about me, he adores them. [I thought Barney the purple dinosaur was gross, too, and my son loved him.] You can bet I'll be buying him the Diggory Dragon stuffy for his birthday in a few weeks. Oh! I should have mentioned my major complaint is that these books --and the stuffy-- are grossly overpriced. They are thin, flimsy, and $13 apiece. Considering that the series is targeted toward neurodiverse families, it would be an act of kindness to make them more affordable to those of us who are VERY low income (pretty common, and neurodiversity's a genetic issue), and is an opportunity for philanthropy. To whomever the publisher is: You can get a MAJOR tax break if you help provide us disabled folks, our kids, and grandkids with therapeutic books. If it's about dollars and cents. We would love to get more of them.
