Many thousands of boys and girls who have read and enjoyed Miss Gannett's prize-winning book, My Father's Dragon, have wanted to know what happened after Elmer Elevator rescued the flying baby dragon from the fierce animals of Wild Island.

This new story continues the tale of Elmer's adventures.

The baby dragon offered to fly Elmer home, and into the sky they soared, well loaded down with tangerines.

How a storm forced them down in the middle of the ocean, how they found treasure on the unusual island near by (inhabited solely by escaped canaries) and eventually landed home, has all been set down by a born storyteller whose delightful text finds its perfect complement in the exquisite illustrations by Ruth Chrisman Gannett.
