I finished reading gthe Dragon of Bluelandh by Ruth Stiles Gannett. This is wonderful book I have ever read. I remember the first story gMy fatherfs Dragonh and I read Elmerfs stories at one sitting. Especially, the last story was the best story for me. I wanted to read this story when I was in the primary school. Anyway, why this story is the best for me because I could understand the history of dragons and fifteen dragons appeared this story. Baby dragon was growing up and tries to rescue his parents, brother and sister. Elmer didnft move in this story, but he helped so many times among whole stories.

My favorite character is baby dragon Boris. First he was just a child and he canft anything without Elmer. But he grown and acquired the brave at last. So he is not the coward that he was a years ago. This storyfs important part was how baby dragon changed his mind and said good-bye to Elmer.

Finally, thank you Hiroyuki. This was great book and I really enjoyed this book. Next time, I will take you my favorite book.

I am reading the book gThe Dragon of Bluelandh by Ruth Stiles Gannett. This is third book of Elmerfs adventure. This story has a lot of dragons in story and middle of the story you can know the dragonfs history. I am interested in their history, it was sad story. Long time ago, there were many dragons and they lived the Blueland peacefully. However, when the knights captured and killed most of all dragons, they totally were annihilated. Elmerfs friend and dragon named Boris was only dragon which could survive from dragon hunting.

 

I have not read all yet, but I think this story tell us the dragonfs history. Now I am reading the cream of the story. The important things is that how can Elmer rescue the dragons which are invading by people. I think Elmer helps them using some tools because he has always use tools which brought from his home.

 

Finally, I wonder why the dragon didnft say his name to Elmer. I suppose dragonfs name decided in this story. Actually, there are many dragons in this story. You will know many new things about the dragon. Now I continue to read this book and I will enjoy it.

Now I finish reading "Elmer and the Dragon" by Ruth Stiles Gannett. First I will tell about story. This is the story of what Elmer done with dragon. After saved the dragon, Elmer and dragon went to Feather Island. Then they met the canary named Flute and the king of canary named Can 16 asked them to find a treasure.

 

The end of the story, they found the iron chest and finished all request. When Elmer went home, he took silver harmonica and dragon acquired gold watch. So Elmer met his family at last. Parents really worried about Elmer and they didn¡¯t have their son for two weeks. Now Elmer went back and happy end.

 

Actually I borrowed next Elmer book. The dragon went to home and now there is no dragon in Elmer¡¯s home. I guess the dragon comes back to the island and there will be another exciting adventure. Maybe next book will be final reading for me this semester.

It is great pleasure for me to read Elmer at the end of semester. Next book title is "the Dragon of Blue land" it sounds good me, I want to read next story as soon as possible.

The book I am currently reading is the gElmer and the Dragonh by Ruth Stiles Gannett.

This is the second story of Elmer adventures. Now I have three questions to the author.

First is why this storyfs animal can speak English? I really like speaking animals very much, but the other side it occurs some confusing who is speaking. Second is why the author interested in dragon? I think dragon is much scare thing. However, in this story the dragon is week and not so strong. Off course dragon is child but dragon is dragon.

The last question is what did the author want to convey us? In my opinion, he wants to tell us pure mind. The author wants to tell us never doubt and believe your feeling or imagination. It doesnft matter animals can speak and dragon is week, but the important thing is how can you image this characters and how you feel this stories.

 

I donft finish read yet. But I really interested in this book. Actually there is many kinds of animals are appear and speak. Now there are canaries and is king of canary. You can see queen of canary. It sounds funny. No?  They have names and there is hierarchy in canaryfs island. Every single of animals have society. Thatfs really interesting for me and I swear you can enjoy it.

Today, I finished reading the book gMy FATHERfS DRAGONh by Ruth Stiles Gannett.

This is really interesting story. My favorite thing is that Elmer came across strange animals. There were a lot of animals in Wild Island. There were tigers, a rhinoceros, a lion, a gorilla, and dragon. Each animal had a silly problem and Elmer helped them. To help animals Elmer used many tools. These tools had many uses and were in Elmerfs back pack inside. Actually, I like dragon which has blue and yellow stripes and red horn and gold wings. I swear you like it too.

 

I think this story is a root of RPG game like dragon quest. This story produced 1948 and it translated a lot of countries. I suggest that if you don not read this story, you should read this. Itfs a fountain of knowledge. I mean not only acquire knowledge but also about create your imagination.

 

I like this story very much. I want to make this storyfs movie. Is this made movie? If you know about it, please tell me. This book is a part of the story, next time I will read next story gElmer and the Dragonh Thank you my friends and I will return your book soon.
