The Dragons of Blueland: 3 (My Father's Dragon)

Ok i just receive the book today. Everything's fine. Thank you

The book itself is good, but the quality of printing is unacceptable. The paper is grey and uneven, the illustrations are hardly visible, four empty pages at the end of the book. Very poor quality overall

We really loved reading these three books, they took us all to far away lands and imaginations grew. We have re-read several times and still loving them. Would highly recommend to anyone with young children.

We bought the whole series (My Father's Dragon, Elmer and the Dragon, The Dragons of Blueland) for our 3 year old son. He LOVES these books. We have read them at least five times each since buying them a couple weeks ago. A chapter is a great length for a quick bedtime story, although we usually end up reading two or three chapters. There are some pages without any pictures, but no more than one spread in a row is without a picture, which helps keep his interest. Additionally, the pictures are well-placed so that if anything happens that kids might find scary (like Elmer meeting hungry tigers in My Father's Dragon) there is a picture that shows that everything is okay on that same page. My son hates conflict in books, or for things to be too scary, so I feel like these books strike a great balance. Nobody (Elmer, the Dragon, any animals they meet) gets injured or eaten, they just get bested with clever solutions. In these books, Elmer is kind, helpful, and resourceful. I am happy to read these books over and over to my son because the story is good and Elmer is a good role model. I would recommend this series highly as a first chapter book series to read aloud to any child.

I purchased this book for my 5 year old son. It is an excellent way to introduce story books, without pictures (there is a black and white illustration on about every third page). The story grabbed his attention right away, he couldn't get enough! I would recommend this book ( and the others in the series) to anyone wanting to get their child excited about reading!
