Ruth Stiles Gannett
My Father’s Dragon by Ruth Stiles Gannett is a timeless children's classic that has captivated generations with its imaginative adventure and heartwarming themes of bravery and kindness.
Young Elmer Elevator dreams of adventure, and when he learns of a baby dragon held captive on Wild Island, he runs away from home to rescue it. The poor dragon has been forced to serve as a 24/7 ferry for the lazy wild animals, and Elmer is determined to set it free. Armed with a backpack full of clever supplies, he navigates the island’s dense jungle, outsmarts ferocious tigers and other mischievous creatures, and proves that courage and quick thinking can overcome even the wildest challenges.
A Newbery Honor Book and an ALA Notable Book, My Father’s Dragon is the first installment in a beloved trilogy, followed by Elmer and the Dragon and The Dragons of Blueland.
