Thanks guys.

Definitely Eragon... Seraphina may be something to look into as well :)

Yes, I forgot to add these to my list, thank you.

Dragonsdale and Dragon Slippers are pretty good.
A Tale of Two Castles and The Dragon in the Sock Drawer are a bit juvenile.
It's been a while since I read it, but Dragonborn might fit your description.
Dragon Keeper is more focused on the girl than the dragon.
Same with Eon: Dragoneye Reborn.
The Last Dragon
Shadow of the Dragon: Kira
Cast in Shadow is a bit more upper level reading, and more confusing than the others. It also may not have dragons yet, I have forgotten since it is part of a very long series.
Dragon Run has dragons, but they're not really friendly, they're actually the villains.
Anyway, that's all I've got.

Thanks I'll take anything.

The Dragon Keeper Not sure how I forgot this one. It's first in the series, but there are series that came before. I read it without reading the others and was ok, but you can tell that you're missing out on some knowledge and having to catch up.

If you'll take anything, then The Reluctant Dragon is really cute.

Alan Dean Foster wrote a series about a boy and his companion "minidrag" (miniature dragon), beginning with The Tar-Aiym Krang.

Dragons also feature in a more subsidiary way in Raymond E Feist's Riftwar books and in Ursula Leguin's Earthsea books."

The Book of Dragons
This is a wonderful book of stories, each one about a different dragon--friends or enemies.

Truth About Dragons

There is also the Joust series by mercedes lackey, and the Pit Dragon series by Jane Yolen. They are both pretty good.

Flyte...you've probably already read it.
The Two Princesses of Bamarre
I loved Dragon Slippers, except for Larkin.

I can't find some of these of Goodreads.

Temeraire is a series by Naomi Novik. Talon is by Julie Kagawa. The Forgotten Beasts of Eld

Thank you, Rosa! :0)

I have already read Temeraire, I want to read Talon and I have added The forgotten beasts of Eld to my TBR list.

There is a very unusual dragon in Castle Hangnail by Ursula Vernon. Castle Hangnail

Another very unusual dragon in Catherynne Valente's Fairyland series, starting with The Girl Who Circumnavigated Fairyland in a Ship of Her Own Making. The Girl Who Circumnavigated Fairyland in a Ship of Her Own Making

Both dragons have a friendly relationship with at least one human. (The first is more like a pet.)

Tea with the Black Dragon and there is a sequel Twisting the Rope.

Depending on your definition (some folklorist classify kelpies as dragons--don't know why, but hey, they do) there is also her The Grey Horse.

There are some wonderful dragons in Tamora Pierce's Immortals Quartet. The first book is Wild Magic. I believe the dragons don't show up until book 3 or 4, but it's a great series. The main character can communicate with animals and has a very close relationship with one dragon in particular.

There are dragons in Lawrence Watt-Evans's Ethshar series. But they are rare, and, depending on the age of the dragon, might not be "intelligent" enough (or around enough humans) to speak. I know that they have to hit a certain age/size in order to even LEARN how to speak. And then they have to be taught. They make a brief appearance in this book, but one of the later books has a "greater" dragon (adult, able to speak, very powerful) in it as a major character.

Guards! Guards!, one of the many books in Sir Terry Pratchett's Diskworld novels features a dragon--but it isn't "friends" with anyone.

Check out Heartstrikers series. It has a dragon main character that develops a relationship with a human. I'm reading the third book right now and it's awesome. It also has a lot of magic, spirits, shamans and things like that.

I can’t believe no one (including myself) has mentioned Jeremy Thatcher, Dragon Hatcher!

Love the rhyme. Thank you.

"The Breath of Princes," in A Wizard's Dozen: Stories Of The Fantastic.

I can think of a couple, they are all YA though.

The Ice Dragon by George R.R. Martin (same world as Game of Thrones but not part of the series and aimed at a younger audience)

The Dragon of Trelian

Shadow of the Dragon: Kira

I don't think anyone has mentioned Eon: Dragoneye Reborn or this one Dragonborn (the main cover on here is terrible; it makes the book look far more juvenile than it is!)

Hope this helps!

It does thank you.

The Invisible Library by Genevieve Cogman is #1 in a series that has a unique take on dragons.
