My Father's Dragon


A little boy in our Primary said during his spotlight that this was his favorite book, so of course I had to check it out. Andrew and I loved it!

It's a funny and lighthearted story about a boy named Elmer who saves an enslaved baby dragon from Wild Island. It's a fast, easy read and full of fun illustrations.

Elmer and the Dragon

This is the second book in the series and it's just as great as the first. It's a continuation of the story about Elmer and the baby dragon he rescued. On their way home from Wild Island, they're caught in a storm and forced to land on a sandbar until the storm passes.

The next morning, they discover a new island inhabited by canaries. Elmer and the dragon discover that the king of canaries is dying of curiosity and they help him to discover just what it is that he's so curious about.

The Dragons of Blueland

This is the third book of the Elmer and Dragon series, and we loved it!


After the dragon returns Elmer to his home in Nevergreen City, he heads back to Blueland and finds that a group of men have discovered his family and plan to capture the dragons and sell them to the circus. The dragon rushes back to Nevergreen City and asks Elmer to help save his family.
