    The classic fantasy trilogy of Elmer Elevator and the flying baby dragon has

delighted children and their parents for generations. Now, on the occasion of

their fiftieth anniversary, Random House is proud to bring the three timeless

tales together in one beautiful commemorative edition, complete with the

original delightful illustrations. A Newbery Honor Book and an ALA Notable

Book, My Father's Dragon is followed by Elmer and the Dragon

("rich, humorous, and thoroughly satisfying"*) and The Dragons of

Blueland ("ingenious and plausible, the fantasy well-sustained"*). Each

story stands alone, but read in succession, they are an unforgettable

experience.*Library Journal, starred review

    My Father's Dragon--a favorite of young readers since the 1940s and a Newbery honor book--captures the nonsensical logic of childhood in an amusingly deadpan fashion. The story begins when Elmer Elevator (the narrator's father as a boy) runs away with an old alley cat to rescue a flying baby dragon being exploited on a faraway island. With the help of two dozen pink lollipops, rubber bands, chewing gum, and a fine-toothed comb, Elmer disarms the fiercest of beasts on Wild Island. The quirky, comical adventure ends with a heroic denouement: the freeing of the dragon. Abundant black-and-white lithographs by Ruth Chrisman Gannett (the author's stepmother) add an evocative, lighthearted mood to an already enchanting story. Author Ruth Stiles Gannett's stand-alone sequel, Elmer and the Dragon, and her third volume, The Dragons of Blueland both received starred reviews in School Library Journal and are as fresh and original as her first.
