My Father's Dragon [Gannett, Ruth Stiles, Gannett, Ruth Chrisman] on desertcart.com. *FREE* shipping on qualifying offers. My Father's Dragon

Review: Great elementary reader - This is a really cute story for elementary readers. Purchased for my daughter who is obsessed with dragons these days
Review: Great introduction to chapter books - We bought the whole series (My Father's Dragon, Elmer and the Dragon, The Dragons of Blueland) for our 3 year old son. He LOVES these books. We have read them at least five times each since buying them a couple weeks ago. A chapter is a great length for a quick bedtime story, although we usually end up reading two or three chapters. Just so you know, this book is larger in size than the other two. The cover illustration even looks like it was resized a bit too large. There are some pages without any pictures, but no more than one spread in a row is without a picture, which helps keep his interest. Additionally, the pictures are well-placed so that if anything happens that kids might find scary (like Elmer meeting hungry tigers in My Father's Dragon) there is a picture that shows that everything is okay on that same page. My son hates conflict in books, or for things to be too scary, so I feel like these books strike a great balance. Nobody (Elmer, the Dragon, any animals they meet) gets injured or eaten, they just get bested with clever solutions. In these books, Elmer is kind, helpful, and resourceful. I am happy to read these books over and over to my son because the story is good and Elmer is a good role model. I would recommend this series highly as a first chapter book series to read aloud to any child.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Classic!
*by N***S on August 15, 2024*

A boy, Elmer meets a stray cat on his street. He asks if the cat would like to come home with him and the cat accepts the invitation. Elmer’s mother is not happy about the cat and refuses to give him any milk. Elmer hides the cat in the cellar and when his mother finds out about it, she whips Elmer and throws the cat out into the street. Elmer and the cat met up later and as they are walking in the park and they see an airplane in the sky. Elmer tells him that more than anything he wants to fly in an airplane. The cat tells Elmer about a poor dragon that is being held captive on the Wild Island and if he was to rescue him, he might be able to get a dragon ride in the sky. A dragon ride is even better than an airplane ride. This sounds wonderful to Elmer, and he takes off on an adventure to the Wild Island. “My Fathers Dragon” was one of my favorite books as a child. I loved the way Elmer was able to outsmart all the jungle animals to get to the dragon and the best part was the maps in the back of the book. After each chapter I would look at the maps to see where all the action took place. My 8-year-old grandson enjoyed the book and wants to read more in the series. The language can be old-fashioned and the cruelty to both the boy and the animals might upset some children. It is a classic in my opinion.
