Rating: Summary: A Classic Review: My kids read this series when they were in elementary school and loved all 3 books. I purchased this version for a nephew several years ago and he also enjoyed the stories. I'm now sending the book to another nephew in the first grade. This bound version of the series is beautiful and will be one of those books you'll want to keep forever.

Rating: Summary: A favorite read aloud book! Review: These three adventurous tales by Ruth Gannett kept my 5 year old son spellbound night after night--he continually begged me to read "just one more chapter!" and we are almost finished with our second time reading it. The trilogy begins with the main character, Elmer Elevator, venturing away from home to save a baby dragon from being abused by the animals of Wild Island. What follows are a series of Elmer's and the baby dragon's exciting adventures. This is a great read aloud book for ages 5-9!

Rating: Summary: One of the best kept secrets in childrens lit. AWESOME!!!!! Review: This book was a wonderful read-out-loud book for my family. We ALL enjoyed it and could not put it down. My kids are 7 and 11. Kept everyone's interest. I will save it to read to Grandkids for sure!
Rating: Summary: My Fathers Dragon Review: This volume is the complete set of tales about Elmer and his friend the dragon, including the fun illustrations. The complete set includes "My Father's Dragon," "Elmer and the Dragon," and "The Dragons of Blueland."These stories are perfect first chapter books for kids. The vocabulary is simple and the chapters are short. I'd forgotten just how short until I started rereading them. Yet the stories are packed full of adventure. Elmer is especially resourceful, and I still get a kick out of how he takes the simplest things and makes them work in whatever situation he finds himself. Whether kids read these stories themselves or listen to them being read, they're sure to become favorites. And adults will enjoy the clever story lines as well.
