I remember reading this in 2nd grade and have just finished reading it aloud with my 6 year old.
It’s a simple and elegant story that’s almost timeless. The prose and plot are clear enough for this to be a hit with ages 4 & up ( & up & up).

Everything a children’s book should be. My 5-year-old adored this. I read this to him over several bedtimes and he was glued to the story, always wanting to continue to the next chapter. I love that the story is told from the perspective of “my father”, it’s very unique and fanciful. The animals are scary enough for a small child, but not so scary to give nightmares. A great, simple adventurous tale.

This book includes 3 separate stories: My Father’s Dragon, Elmer and the Dragon and The Dragons of Blueland. The first one is the best and if I could do it over, I would probably get a book that only included that one. The other two are cute, but my 4 year old wasn’t really interested in them. We’ll try again next year.
