;My father's dragon -- Elmer and the dragon -- The dragons of Blueland. A compilation of three tales which relate the fantastic adventures of Elmer Elevator and a baby flying dragon named Boris.

I read this with my 4 year old daughter and we both really enjoyed it. It's very silly, but also pretty suspenseful at places. I do remember one place where I had to change a word that struck me as problematic (racist), but I don't remember what or where it was.

Delightful read and my daughter and I are already planning on reading it again. ( )

I've read these books twice with R and they are perfect chapter books for kids 5-7. Fun, funny, clever, simple. ( )

My Father's Dragon (Newbery Honor) Elmer and the Dragon The Dragons of Blueland

This was a lovely book. My Vintage Book Circle group all loved it. We liked the dragons a lot. I remember being so amazed at how prepared he was. He had just the right thing for every circumstance! One person said this was the book that made her become a librarian. We all thought that it would capture the imagination of children today despite the fact that it was written in 1948. Excellent first chapter book for third graders, I would think. ( )
