an unexpected new favorite

I've been expecting my seven year old son to become, like the rest of the world, an addict of the Harry Potter books, but no dice.

Instead, he came home from his multi-age class rhapsodizing about a book I had never heard of...My Father's Dragon. And although I haven't read it (yet), I can tell you for sure what happens in the first five chapters, because my son tells us all with such verve and enthusiasim about the adventures that take place there! How the narrator's father gets out of the tigers, and builds a bridge with the crocodiles are two of his favorite parts, and the words "Bome Cack! Bome Cack!! have entered our vocabularies probably forever.

I think the three books in this series will be entering our household at Christmas time, and I can't wait to read them myself!

It is still a great book

I read this book for the first time in 3rd grade. It is a book I reread every year to remember the ability of a great book to take you away. I am now 25 and have to replace the 3rd copy of the book, as it gets so much wear. A wonderful and timeless book for children

MyFather's Dragon

I reccomend this book for ages 8 and undr, because if your over the age of eight it will be to easy. I still think that it's a funny book, but you'll never learn anything if you read it. My Father's Dragon is about a boy who goes to an island and tries to save a dragon. So I give My Father's Dragon two thumbs up, because it's hilarious.

My Father's Dragon

I would reccomend this book to a friend because the book is very interesting. I liked it because it is relly cool and you are always wondering what's going to happen next. I also liked it because the way the narrator explains the story makes it scary, funny and also makes you get into the book.


An Enchanting Delight!

Hoorah! Hoorah! A fanciful story of adventure, friendship, cleverness, inginuity and resourcefulness that toddlers, grade schoolers and adults can all enjoy together. I homeschool children of various ages and it is hard to find read aloud books that capture the interest and imagination of them all. This one is a true winner! Even my three year old was enthralled! The story is thought provoking enough to be a great spring board for discussion with older children, yet endearing enough for little ones to stand up and cheer about. This is a treasured part of our library. Even if you don't have kids, this is a quick and easy "must read". You don't have to be a child to love this book...only young (and adventurous) at heart!
