About this ebook
When Elmer Elevator tells a stray cat about his dream of being able to fly, he learns of a captive dragon on Wild Island. The dragon has been forced by the jungle residents to serve as their shuttle across a wide river — and anyone who rescues the dragon from its cruel captors might be entitled to a free ride.
Elmer needs no further encouragement to stow away aboard a ship to the island, where he matches wits with hungry tigers, an irate gorilla, cranky crocodiles, and other moody creatures. A charmingly illustrated Newbery Honor Book, this comic adventure story has delighted generations of children.

I loved it very much, I am not sure however what this book's point was. I could not follow the plot and why is he only meeting animals? Maybe make it a little more challenging for the character next time? Other than that, this book was amazing! Definitely recommend it!

Had this read to me from the age of about 4. I've never forgotten it. And
now it's a bonding moment with my son and I. Terrific story. Lifetime of
memories.
