Armed with two dozen pink lollipops, rubber bands, chewing gum, and a fine-toothed comb, young Elmer runs away with an alley cat to a faraway island. There, he must overcome fierce beasts in order to rescue a baby dragon. The first of a three-part series, which includes Elmer and the Dragon and The Dragons of Blueland, this Newbery Honor Book and ALA Notable Book has been in print continuously for more than forty years.

Ruth Stiles Gannett was born in 1923 and wrote her first novel at age 25. โ€œMy Fatherโ€™s Dragonโ€ was a 1948 Newberry Honor Book and went on to be an ALA notable Book. Her other titles include The Wonderful House-Boat-Train and Katie and the Sad Noise. The granddaughter of Unitarian minister and reformer Ezra Stiles Gannett, she is married to artist and calligrapher Peter Kahn and lives in upstate New York, near Cornell University.
