Summary
About the author

On a whim and at the advice of a friendly Alley Cat, Elmer Elevator packs his knapsack and heads on a daring quest to rescue a baby dragon.

Told from the perspective of Elmer’s young daughter, Courtney Fabrizio puts a spin on this classic tale by Ruth Stiles Gannett.

Join Elmer as he treks through Wild Island on a rescue mission relying only on what he can find in his backpack! Will the Wild Animals he meets along the way bring him closer to the dragon?

This story is a perfect first chapter book for early readers and their grownups.

Ruth Stiles Gannett wrote My Father’s Dragon just a few years after her graduation from Vassar College in 1944. It was an immediate success, becoming a Newbery Honor Book, and was soon followed by two sequels, Elmer and the Dragon and The Dragons of Blueland. All three dragon stories have been continuously in print since their publication. The author’s other books include Katie and the Sad Noise and The Wonderful House-Boat-Train. She was married to the artist and calligrapher Peter Kahn and has seven daughters.
