Elmer and the Dragon Audiobook

" Great book to read aloud to kids with shorter attention spans. Great book for those just beginning chapter books to read themselves. "

" This is one of my favorite books to read with children. I found it by chance at the book store, and it became a family favorite almost immediately! "

" I loved this book as a young girl. I used to open up the book and stare at the color map, wishing I could visit Tangerine island. Still my favorite fantasy map. I also love the story of the boy rescuing his dragon and all the tricks he pulls on the animals. "

" A delightful fantasy that worked well as a homeschool Kindergarten read aloud. "

" the art should have a Caldecott Honor as well. "

" This was a great chapter book read-a-loud. We read it on the Kindle, so no pictures, but now I want to check out the picture version from the library so the kids can see it. Audrey loved it and didn't want me to stop reading. "

" This is one of my favorite books from when my kids were little. THis is the first chapter book that they read. Each chapter was self contained. The hero is able to use his intelligence and creativity to solve the problems that face him. Highly recommend it as a way to get kids hooked on reading... "

" Very enjoyable fantastical short book about a boy's amusing adventures rescuing a baby dragon. Fun to read aloud. Although it is meant for a young audience, everyone enjoyed it. The pictures a great too. "

" I read this aloud to my 3 year old and 5 year old and they loved it. They found it funny at parts and could imagine what was taking place. A simple story with great lessons. "

" A very cute, very simple fun book loaned and recommended to me by a very cute 1st Grader I know :) An intriguing and innovative book when you see what comes out of "the father's" backpack to solve the problems with the animals he encounters. I really enjoyed the extremely simple style. "

" I have such fond memories of reading this book in school. This book is perfect for second graders. It allows their minds to wander and have fun exploring in the scenery described. A must read! "

" We loved this book. Sleep Time came w two chapters left. I promised them I'd read the rest in the morning before school if they got up w no trouble. Wow, it really worked. They were up and ready in no time! "

" One of my favorite books to read with my little boy. "

" Super fun story about a boy who runs away from home in order to set free a baby dragon. With the wise guidance of an old cat, Elmer has everything he needs to face the wild animals and rescue the dragon. Charming! "

" This is one of my all-time favorite read alouds to the boys - we have read these books many times. This was one of the first chapter books that Miles read himself - he liked it that much. "

" Just read this to my 5 year old son, and we both thoroughly enjoyed it. The chapters are a nice length to read two a night. The story is entertaining, stimulates imagination, and is easy to follow. I recommend it as a first read aloud chapter book for parents of 4 to 6 year olds. "

" Preston and I loved this! "

" A great example of how packing your bags well can save your life. "

" I like the way this book is written, and the fact that Ruth Stiles Gannett says that she had such an easy time writing it is evident in the book's fluidity. Nice job. "

" I remember this being a favorite growing up. Either my mom read it to me, or I read it alone, it is a beautiful kids book to have. "

" A classic adventure story for children. Great illustrations. Interesting back story. "

" Love this story as a read aloud for my 4th grade class. Classic! Just finished reading all three to this years class. They loved the story more than last years fourth graders. What should I read next to the kids? "

" This is the first chapter book I've read with my three-year old son. He loved it as much as I did. Wouldn't let me put it down, so we finished it in two days. A classic. "

" Read out loud to my 6 year old son and he really liked this. Loved the story and pictures. "

" It was clever, but in a boring way. It kind of just went on and on doing the same thing with only the slightest change. I really didn't think it was that good. "

" I recently read this to Eli and we both LOVED it...ok, maybe I loved it more than he did. It was the first chapter book we had read and this one we did read from cover to cover in one sitting. This is a classic. Put it on your to-read list!! "

" This is a perfect first chapter book for a preschooler who likes adventure. "

" My children (boy 4 & girl 5) LOVED this book. We read the stories one after another. I know they are published as three separate novels, but you need to read them one after the other, or I think you'd be left feeling unsatisfied. "

" I read this to my 6 and 3 year olds a chapter at a time and they both loved it. There are pictures every few pages to keep the littlest one interested and frequent chapter breaks to prevent mommy-reading burnout. Fun stories! "

" as i get farther into the book, i understand a lot better than i use to! "

" These were some of the most charming books I read as a child. By chance I have met the author's daughter, who grew up to be a potter. "

" A student recommended this. I'd save it for kindergartners. "

" Jonas and I have been reading this aloud. It's actually three chapter books that all go together. It's a cute story, and easy for J to follow. I'm really not sure why I've never heard of it before. "

" We're only about a third of the way through, but we are LOVING this as a read-aloud. It has all the elements of a great book - adventure, danger, talking animals, brave rescues, and a boy hero. Best chapter book read-aloud we've done so far! "

" These stories were among my absolute favorites when I was a kid! I want to read them again! "

" Great kids book! I read this with my 7 year old and we both really liked it! "

" LOVED reading this to the boys "

" What a terrific inventive and well crafted story. Perfect for reading aloud. Great bedtime reading. "
