Bookroo's summary

All three tales of Elmer Elevator and the flying baby dragon in one volume. Elmer stows away to Wild Island to free a young dragon the island's animals hold captive, flies home with him, and later helps the dragon's family in Blueland. Each story stands alone, and read together they make one long adventure, with the original illustrations.
