My Father's Dragon

OK, any book that encourages Charlie to snuggle up to me and then talk excitedly about the plot and characters gets high ratings. But it's really cute, especially the illustrations. (My favorite is one that's also on the cover of of the lion, with his mane combed out, braided and tied in bows.) Charlie and I both enjoyed Elmer Elevator's adventures searching for the dragon on Wild Island.

My son absolutely loved this book. I was reading aloud from our paperback copy for our Sonlight Curriculum K 2020 reading and he was always eager for more, Rascal is currently 6.5-years-old. I later found that my 11.5-year-old daughter was going off to read ahead on her Kindle, as we have an open domain copy there as this is apparently a vintage story. Apparently, everyone from the three-year-old to the almost 12 loved it. We finished the book while on a trip out of town, and on the night back my son found the sequel on the shelf and asked to read it soon. The next morning, he discovered the third in the trilogy and is now begging for it as well. I think that makes for a great read! I bought this book originally in a set of Sonlight Core A books, it has since been moved to HBL K 2020.
