Young Elmer Elevator dreams of adventure, and when he learns of a baby dragon held captive on Wild Island, he runs away from home to rescue it.
The poor dragon has been forced to serve as a 24/7 ferry ⛴️ for the lazy wild animals, and Elmer is determined to set it free.
Armed with a backpack full of clever supplies, he navigates the island's dense jungle, outsmarts ferocious tigers and other mischievous creatures, and proves that courage and quick thinking can overcome even the wildest challenges.
A Newbery Honor Book and an ALA Notable Book, My Father's Dragon is the first installment in a beloved trilogy, followed by Elmer and the Dragon and The Dragons of Blueland.
In 2012, it was ranked #49 among the greatest children's novels of all time in a School Library Journal survey.
With its whimsical storytelling and charming illustrations by Ruth Chrisman Gannett, this delightful tale is perfect for young readers ages 6-10 who love magical adventures ✨.
Join Elmer on an unforgettable journey to Wild Island and discover the magic of friendship, courage, and imagination!
