My Father's Dragon is an adorable story told by a girl about her father. When her father was a boy he met a cat and they became friends. When they were talking one day the boy told the cat that he wanted to learn to fly planes when he grew up so that he could fly all over the world. The cat told the boy that he knew a way for him to start flying now. Thus began the boy's journey to Wild Island where he would find a baby dragon. The wild animals on the island kept the dragon prisoner so that he could fly them back and forth across the river. If the boy would save him then the dragon would be so grateful he'd fly the boy anywhere he wanted to go. The boy finds the island and some very angry animals that do not want him there. But the boy's quick thinking gets him out of some close calls. Finally he finds the dragon, frees him, and they fly away together to safety.
My Father's Dragon was written in the 1940's by Ruth Stiles Gannett. Her story has stood the test of time and it is still loved by many children who read about the boy's adventure to find the baby dragon.
