Help your dragon deal with anxiety / Steve Herman. - First edition - 37 unnumbered pages : colour illustrations ; 26 cm - My dragon books ; volume 22 . - Herman, Steve My dragon books ; volume 22. .
Having a pet dragon is fun. But what if your dragon is constantly worrying about so many things? This book for children, parents and teachers teaches kids the proper way to think, and deal with worry and anxiety! Drew's dragon, Diggory, is beset by anxieties such as worrying that he will let his basketball team down, that he will fail a maths test although he has studied hard for it, and that the other children will laugh at him when he gives his book report. Drew helps Diggory by giving him techniques such as positive thinking instead of assuming the worst, and learning from failure rather than fearing it. The dynamic of having the child giving advice to his pet places the child in a position often typically occupied by an adult in children's books. The text is in rhyming format which makes it ideal for reading aloud. There is also a video of the book on YouTube with the text read aloud.
