David says:
I gave this story five stars because I thought it was cool that there was a dragon in the book and how clever the father was about saving it.
I thought it was really sad that the animals captured the dragon and made him cross back and forth. I liked how Elmer gave all the animals things they wanted. Like the rhino whose tusk needed cleaning. I thought the lion looked funny with the ribbons and bows on his mane. And it was awesome that he was able to cross the river by making the crocodiles suck the lollipop and it was funny to see the tiger chewing gum and that he accidentally stepped on a whale while getting to the island.
My favorite part is when he saves the dragon and they fly away as all the other animals are stuck in the crocodiles’ backs.
Reading a book a week with my six-year-old son David is a weekly project for 2011. You can read more about it here.
