my father's dragon mania!

i read the other two books in the my father's dragon series today, elmer and the dragon, and the dragons of blueland. they were deligthful. my favorite part was near the end of the last book when we find out that the baby dragon's name is boris and he's embarressed. his friend, the hero of the books, tells him that it's no worse than his name, elmer. i laughed. i really enjoy children's literature and have considered from time to time getting a degree in it. but what would i use that for and what haven't i considered majoring in? yeesh.

this is a picture someone drew for a book report on the dragons of blueland.

this is from the anime movie made from my father's dragon called elmer no bouken. i would love to see this somehow.

this is the author, ruth stiles gannett.


and finally this what i would like to get done if joel, beth, and i got our my father's dragon sibling tattoos.
