I received a copy of this book through Netgalley. This is my honest review.

This is a cute little story about a baby dragon that goes in search of his name and his family. On his journey, he helps a variety of creatures including an elf, a unicorn and a fairy. All these people that he helped along the way to finding where he came from help him to see that found family is still very much family. And the king gives him a name based on all the kind deeds that he did on his trip.

I like the messages of this book, and think they can be really help for children as they grow up. I think it could also be very helpful for children who have been adopted or are in the foster care system to see that just because they aren't with the family that brought them into the world, that doesn't mean they're without family. The illustrations were a real highlight of this book. They were so colorful, bold and bright.

Overall I give Baby Dragon Finds His Family 4.1974 out of 5 stars.

In Baby Dragon's Big Sneeze we meet the dragon and the town's people. They are all friends now, but don't know what to call the baby dragon. He decides to head off to find his parents to see if they gave him a name. He doesn't find any dragons, but does make new friends along the way. He also doesn't hesitate to help them out when he can. Finally returning home, he has learned a valuable lesson about found family, and the friendly townsfolk, give him his name.

This is a cute story and great sequel. It is quite simplistic, so the message and story are easy to grasp for younger children. Baby Dragon is not a mean, fire breathing dragon that we often meet in books. He is living with humans and helping them when he can. They take care of him in return and treat him as family. This is a great story to show children that you can be different from others, yet still help them and be friends with them. Everyone belongs. The illustrations are delightful. They are bright and colourful, full page to explore and whimsical. We enjoyed both the story and the images. Of course, my grandkids have friends of various nationalities and cultures and expect everyone to be accepting. The message reinforces that belief. This would be a great book for preschool and primary classrooms.

Me and my children read this book. With all the characters within. It's about a baby dragon that want to find his family. He go off on an adventure to do this. But end up finding something else instead.

This was a fun story to read. It had action and adventure throughout. There were a few giggles within. The illustrations went well with the story and were colorful.

I received a complimentary copy via Netgalley. This is my honest unbiased opinions.

Cute pictures with a funny story. The dragon was adorable and all the kids were playing dragons for the afternoon.

Commendably done, this pleasant-and-then-some story in verse is of a dragon who just yearns for a proper name, his parents having vanished before they could bestow it. The lack makes him go off on a quest-styled journey, and once he's done good deed after heroic act after gentle piece of kindness it's obvious he has qualities that just must form part of his name – as we ought to, ourselves. Bold colouring but with great quality in the visuals, a very easy to read (and read-out) narrative and of course the simplicity of the moral all make for this to be worth investigation. A strong four stars.

I loved the Baby Dragon getting cured of cold story. This story is cute too where he learns who his family is. Baby Dragon sets out on a journey and meets good friends whom he helps with some magic involved and they help him on his quest of his origins.

This was really cute. It’s about found family being the only family you need. It’s about being kind and gentle and learning who you are. The illustrations are really fun and while this book does look self published, It’s like the best side of self published. This is apparently a second book and I really would like to read the first one. This book was fun and gorgeous and full of heart.

"Baby Dragon Finds His Family" is a sequel that explores themes of belonging and kindness. Through a quest for his true family, Baby Dragon aids mythical beings, learning that family transcends bloodlines and is often found in friendship and shared journeys. Sheryl Bass weaves these lessons into rhyming verses, complemented by Remesh Ram’s colourful illustrations. This book is suitable for children aged 3-7, and an apt story for any bedtime reading collection.

My thanks to NetGalley and publishers for a copy of this book in exchange for a review.

Baby Dragon Finds his Family was just as lovely a story as Baby Dragon's Big Sneeze (the first book). It's a lovely story where the dragon goes off to find off to find his family but along the way on his adventures he finds out his family is where he had been with all the villagers. The pictures are beautiful - my daughter's favourite character was either the fairy or the unicorn and my son's was the dragon of course.
This story is perfect for small children.

Yay for GORGEOUS full color illustrations - extra points for rhyming and bonus points for being so darn cute!!! Baby Dragon Finds His Family is the story of a baby dragon looking for his family (literally). This sweet little friend felt different from the get go and hefinds he is already among "Family". Gareth has his trusty friends and they help him along the way. This was beautiful book!! Thank you to Netgalley, BE Kind Publishing and Sheryl Bass for the opportunity to give an honest review in exchange for a digital copy of this sweet little book.

Baby Dragon Finds His Family is a fantastic sequel to Baby Dragon's Big Sneeze, which teaches about the nature of family, the importance of friendship, and the value of found family.

The story is about a baby dragon who wants a family and the adventures he goes on to find them all the while helping others and making friends. The illustrations were beautiful and the message is especially important in light of global events.

I highly recommend this book, it is both beautiful and heart-warming!

Little Dragon wanted a family, one he couldn’t destroy with his hiccups. It was an adventurous and fun journey where he got to help others and made new friends along the way. It was a wonderful and adventurous story, a delightful story for your kids.

I was so happy to discover, quite by accident, that this book is the second in a series, the first book about Baby Dragon being one that I had already reviewed earlier.

This is a delightful and very engaging follow up, which features some adorable illustrations alongside important messages about the nature of family, the importance of friendship, and the value of found family.

I think it is a wonderful story for young children and look forward to more of the same.

This book was so cute. I loved all of the colorful artwork and how cute the baby dragon was. I always find reading books that flow and rhyme are much more fun to read aloud to my kids. I love the idea of helping out strangers you meet along your path.

Loved this book! This is a sequel to "Baby Dragon's Big Sneeze", which I haven't read yet. This book however, you can read without knowing the first book.

I loved the illustrations! They were bright and helped to tell the story. The message was great as well. Your family isn't always just D.N.A and blood. It is a lot of the times who helped you along the way and were there with you.
I loved this so much, I will probably buy the book, and the first book as well.
