On Tuesday, April 16th at 11:30 – 12:30 p.m., the Homeschool Book Club for 7 – 9 year olds will be discussing My Father’s Dragon by Ruth Stiles Gannett.
A charmingly illustrated Newbery Honor Book, this comic adventure story has delighted generations of children.
When Elmer Elevator tells a stray cat about his dream of being able to fly, he learns of a captive dragon on Wild Island. The dragon has been forced by the jungle residents to serve as their shuttle across a wide river — and anyone who rescues the dragon from its cruel captors might be entitled to a free ride. Elmer needs no further encouragement to stow away aboard a ship to the island, where he matches wits with hungry tigers, an irate gorilla, cranky crocodiles, and other moody creatures.
We will meet in the children’s room.
Homeschool students are welcome to sign up with Mrs. Fig. by emailing her at jfigurelli@killingworthlibrary.org. This book group is for readers ages 7 – 9.
