My Father's Dragon is a children's book that my parents read to me when I was younger. Three Tales of My Father's Dragon is the complete volume of all three stories of Elmer Elevator and his baby dragon friend, Boris.
In the first story, Elmer is told by an elderly cat about a baby dragon trapped on Wild Island. Elmer, who wants to become a pilot and explore the skies, is intrigued. The cat promises him that the baby dragon will be grateful for rescue and fly him around. Elmer and the cat construct a plan and Elmer sets off to Wild Island to save the baby dragon. Elmer proceeds to out wit the animals of Wild Island and help them.
The second story takes place after Elmer and the baby dragon escape Wild Island. They fly through a storm and find a small island inhabited by canaries. The king of the canaries is dying of curiosity, and Elmer decides to save him.
In the last story, the baby dragon, Boris, ventures back to his homeland to find his family, only to discover men surrounding their land. The men aim to capture the dragons. Boris must make a plan with Elmer and save his family.
This was one of my favorite childhood books, it has charming illustrations and I recommend you read it to young children or your dog/cat. It's a charming read and super easy to follow, as it was written for kids.

READ THIS BOOK, plz.

I love this book series. Simple, silly, and extraordinarily fun. A wonderful children's story!

This book took so long for me and Greta to get through. It was a little ridiculous. She didn't love it. I didn't love it. But I insisted on finishing it. She didn't love that decision either but we did it. I think we need to head back to our Little House genre. :(

This was a cute trilogy and it was fun to have a simple, quick read after some lengthier read-a-louds. I especially loved the illustrations which made my girls laugh several times- they especially enjoyed the part where the lion's hair is braided and bowed. I also appreciated that my 6 y/o could read this on her own since most of the books I read my older daughter can re-read but they are a little too wordy for the younger one at this point.

A perfect chapter book to read aloud to a 4 year old. :)
