When Elmer Elevator hears that a baby dragon is being held captive on Wild Island, he sets out to rescue him. He packs a knapsack with chewing gum, lollipops, rubber bands, a hairbrush, and a few other seemingly ordinary items that prove handy over the course of his wild adventure. My Father's Dragon is as funny and irresistible now as it was when it was first published in 1948. In this beautiful hardcover edition, it is a perfect introduction to the classic story for kids ages 6 and up.
