Fun, beautifully illustrated little story about a wonderfully named child, Elmer Elevator, who runs away from home to rescue a baby dragon. Gannett has a fine sense of the ridiculous, populating her story with a number of talking animals who are deeply unrealistic while still being entertaining... the crocodiles who like to suck on lollipops are I think my particular favourite. I mean it's a bit silly but it's fun, and Elmer is both kind and resourceful. I do think that the ending was quite abrupt, however, although apparently this is a series so it may simply function as a cliff-hanger?
