A children raises a dragon hatchling. ~90’s

[worldofmutes]

Greetings. I am looking for a book, I read it in the early 90s and it was about 70-100 pages long. A kids book, about a boy who raises a dragon hatchling, but he has to hide it from his parents. He hides her in his bathtub until it gets too big. I recall he named the dragon Norbert?.

The cover of the book is of a red dragon, and it takes up the whole cover. It’s very vivid in my mind as the first book I read.

I’m not sure, it could be Bruce Coville.
But, the cover doesn’t match, and I checked out all of the editions.

This isnt the book you're looking for, but it reminds me of the cute children's picture book "There's No Such Thing as a Dragon", by Jack Kent

Oh my god thank you, when I read this thread I had a memory glimpse dredge up that had clearly been hidden for about twenty-odd years, of a dragon that starts off small and keeps getting bigger...and then within a couple of hours, along you come with the name of the book! I never would've remembered, but looking at it on Google has brought back all the memories.

Lmao. At 28 years old, and a lot of trauma, my brains not as sharp as it used to be.
