A 1940s Newbery Award winner for ages 9-12, this book by Ruth Stiles Gannett was reprinted for its 50th anniversary (with its two sequels in the same volume). In the first book, Elmer Elevator runs away with an alley cat to rescue a flying baby dragon who is being exploited on a faraway island. Elmer outwits the various animal residents of the island using his own ingenuity and cleverness, and frees the dragon. Read more about their adventures in the two sequels. |

As a young child with an insatiable appetite for books written for older people, I was having trouble finding appropriate, yet enjoyable books. I loved these books! I'm a huge fantasy fan now, and these books are definitely a contributing factor. I really recommend this to kids that are in the situation I described earlier. |
