I cannot rave more about these Diggory Doo dragon books. My son loves them and I love the messages behind the books. I have several of the How to Train Your Dragon books and read one nightly to my 4 year old son. Its a little more advanced than what my 4 year old needs, though he still enjoys them and has invested himself in Diggory Doo and Drew's lessons. As a therapist. I thought my son would be the most well rounded child who is super emotionally intelligent. Almost as if I expected him to come out of the womb able to identify and regulate his emotions. Yeah, we can laugh.at me together. I was wrong. This book does such a great job going over different emotions, what they look like and how they feel. My son is better able to identify his feelings after reading this book several times.

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.

I'm a therapist. This is a great book to read to children and adults. Love that it rhymes and covers so many emotions in an effective way.

My four year old grandson was getting in trouble for throwing things at school. I helped him verbalize what made him throw things. He arrived at he would throw things at whoever upset him. I bought himthis enchanting book about Diggory Doo and his great big feelings. It spoke directly to him. It was so meaningful that he needed to be cuddled by daddy while we read it for the first time. Afterward he took the book in both hands and ran to show it to mommy. Then he put it by his bed. We read it several nights in a row.I think we forget that the real work of a preschooler is making sense of the world and how to be in it. This book helps a little one do that. I let him pick two more so we can explore more of the world of feelings with Diggory Doo.

Love this for my 3 year old. He loves the diggory doo series.
