Children's book about a green monster that hatches from and egg

[elw123]

I've asked everyone and I'm starting to feel like I imagined this book. It would have been written about the 80's. It's a children's book about a creature that hatches from and egg and looks like a floppy dragon. I think his name was thing but I'm not sure about that. I loved the book but now no-one else remembers it existed!
Help!!

Was it a Stephen Cosgrove book? From the Serendipity series from the 80s. I swear I can picture the little green monster/dragon (with flopsy ears) and I think it was part of that set.

Dragolin by Stephen Cosgrove about a little dragon that can't breathe fire, until learning self confidence. I'm quite sure it's the one you're looking for, I have a vivid mental image of a page that matches your description. If I can find a copy, I'll post a pic.
