The Newbery Honor-winning (Book One) classic about a daring dragon rescue!
When Elmer Elevator hears about the baby dragon being held captive on Wild Island, he knows just what to do.
First, he packs his knapsack with important supplies, like chewing gum, lollipops, and lots of rubber-bands. Then he stows away on a ship headed for the island.
Along the way, Elmer meets many exotic animals. Each tries to sidetrack him, but Elmer has some tricks up his sleeve . . . or more precisely, in his knapsack.
One way or another, he will rescue the dragon!
First published in 1948, My Father’s Dragon has delighted generations of young readers. It is classic storytelling at its finest.
