The Dragons of Blueland

Series: My Father's Dragon (Book #3)
by Ruth Stiles Gannett Illustrated by Ruth Chrisman Gannett

In this third and final installment of the classic My Father's Dragon trilogy, Boris, the baby dragon, is excited to be heading home to Blueland and looks forward to reuniting with his family.

"Elmer's plan is ingenious and plausible, the fantasy well-sustained." — (starred) Library Journal

The classic fantasy trilogy of Elmer Elevator and the flying baby dragon has delighted children and their parents for generations. 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.
