Today I finished the book My Father's Dragon by Ruth Stiles Gannett. It is 87 pages.
It all started one cold and rainy night when the boy's father found a little alley cat. He tried to take the alley cat home but his mom does not like cats, so his mom told him to put the cat out to where the boy's father found him. But secretly every night he went out with the alley cat.
One day he went out with the alley cat to the park and the alley cat told him about a place called the Wild Lands. In the Wild Lands, he said, there was a dragon there. His father was very curious to go see the dragon. He packed all of his stuff and took sail on a boat, secretly. And while he was riding on the boat, no one knew he was there. He hid in a small, grain bag that was empty.
At last he hit shore and they threw the grain bags on the shore in a big net. The boy's father escaped and he went onto the land. He slept under a fruit tree and then when he woke up he grabbed a lot of the fruit to pack.
And he found a big line of rocks that lead from that island to the Wild Lands. When he got to the Wild Lands he saw a mouse and the mouse saw him. The mouse went to tell a whole lot of other animals that he was there. So he had to come across a lot of animals.
The first one was a wild boar, the second one was a tortoise. The third one was seven tigers. The fourth one was a rhinoceros. The fifth one was a lion. The sixth one was a girl lion. The seventh was a gorilla and some monkeys. The eighth was crocodiles.
And after he went across all of those animals he finally found the dragon.
THE END.
