We are reading My Father's Dragon by Ruth Stiles Gannett.

What is your favorite part of this book? Why?
Elmer had many interesting things in his knapsack like lollipops, hair ribbons, and magnifying glasses. What else do you think he might have taken and used on his adventure?


You may post a comment about this exciting book.

There are two more books in this series that you may want to read.

They are Elmer and the Dragon and the Dragons of Blueland.

You can find them in the PDS Library.

My favorite part was when the animals were chasing Elmer, the crocodiles went away with feasts on their backs. I think he could have taken a mouse to catch the mouse.

My favorite part was when they saw 14 eyes and then they became 7 tigers! I like this part because I like to find out things.I think Elmer might take some food like sandwiches.

My favorite part is when the cat distracts the watchman and the cat's owner left on the ship. I like that part because I like ships. I think he should bring a flashlight because it might be dark in the forest.

I liked the part when Elmer met the rhino because the rhino said "The pond was his crying pond". I think he also took a Swiss army knife with him.

My Father's Dragon
My favorite past was when he put the lollypops on the crocodiles tails and made a bridge out of the crocodiles to get to the dragon. Elmer might of had a gun or a hat or a pie and a bottle of Gatorade.

My favorite part was when the father got the dragon because the part was good. He might have brought cookies to eat.

My favorite part is when the dragon flew back home. (This is why I like this part.) The mouse says"We need our fragon... I mean dragon." Elmer should have brought pepper spray to fight off animals.

My favorite part of this book is when Elmer meets lion because Elmer gives him a comb to brush the lion's hair. I think he brought some shampoo and soap. It was a smart idea to bring his knapsack. I can't believe Elmer ran away!

My favorite part was when the crocodile left the shore with an amazing feast on there backs. Elmer might have took a apple or a mint.

My favorite part was when Elmer put lollipops on the crocodiles tails. I like that part because it was funny. I think he should have brought sugar to keep awake.

My favorite part of the story is when he made a bridge out of crocodile. But all the animals were on them. Something els he should haver brought is a small hammock.

My favorite part is when he gives the tigers gum. They think it would turn green and they'd plant the gum then it would grow more gum.I think another thing he should have brought is 10 bottles of water so he couldn't get dehydrated.

My favorite part of the book is when the rino grabbed the toothbrush and began scrubbing and he forgot about his father. Elmer might have taken a gun and a spear.
