Format:Paperback
This is a great book because it was adventurous. It was a cool book! At first we didn't think Elmer, which is the father, could get the dragon. You should read this book if you like adventures and animals.

Format:Paperback
MY FATHER'S DRAGON tells the story of Elmer Elevator. When he hears the plight of a baby dragon captured and enslaved by the residents of Wild Island, he leaves home to free the animal. Armed only with gum, lollipops, magnifying glasses, hair ribbons, and other such items, he sets out. But will this be enough to face lions, tigers, gorillas, and crocodiles?
This is a fun early reader chapter book. The chapters are the perfect length to hook the beginning reader. The story is imaginative, delightful, and downright funny in spots while still being simple enough for young kids to follow. I reread it recently for the first time in years and was surprised at how short and simple it really was. When I was a boy, it seemed much longer and more complicated. There are numerous drawings that wonderfully highlight some of the funnier parts of the story. Adults should enjoy it just as much as their kids.
Readers of this book will want to get the other two in the series and read the further adventures of Elmer. This is a series that will be enjoyed for generations to come.

My father read this to me when I was a child and it is one of my favorite memories.
Told from the perspective of the protagonist's child, it is the story of an adventurous boy who finds a land full of speaking animals. The dragon named in the title is kept prisoner by the animals and "my father" attempts to rescue the dragon.
This story features wonderful characters. Both you and your child will treasure it.
