“Irresistible . . . a real delight.”—The New Yorker
Now a Netflix animated film featuring the voices of Jacob Tremblay, Gaten Matarazzo, Whoopi Goldberg, Alan Cumming, and more!
When Elmer Elevator hears about the baby dragon being held captive on Wild Island, he knows just what to do. First, he packs his knapsack with important supplies, like chewing gum, lollipops, and lots of rubber bands. Then he stows away on a ship headed for the island. Along the way, Elmer meets many exotic animals. Each tries to sidetrack him, but Elmer has some tricks up his sleeve . . . or more precisely, in his knapsack. One way or another, he will rescue the dragon!
First published in 1948, My Father’s Dragon has delighted generations of young readers. It is classic storytelling at its finest.
Read all of Elmer’s adventures!

Critic Reviews
Praise for My Father’s Dragon
“Here is a real delight—a nonsense tale in which the ingenuity of the humor and the logic of the nonsense are irresistible.”—The New Yorker
“The power of My Father’s Dragon lies in the author’s assurances that while the adults in our lives can set things right some of the time, children will also become strong and clever enough to take care of themselves, and, when the time comes, will rescue their own children.”—The Horn Book
