Der Drache Meines Vaters (Demnächst als Netflix-Verfilmung) ist aus dem englischen Märchen, „My Father's Dragon“, übersetzt worden.
Eine sehr schöne Geschichte für Kinder ab 4 Jahre.
Handlung: Als Elmer Elevator eine Freundschaft mit einer Straßenkatze schließt, erfährt er von einem Drachenbaby, das gezwungen wird, als Fähre für die selbstsüchtigen Tiere von der wilden Insel zu dienen. Elmer beschließt sofort, den versklavten Drachen zu befreien, und mit ein paar Ratschlägen der versierten Katze bewaffnet er sich mit Kaugummi, Lutschern, Gummibändern und einigen anderen unwahrscheinlichen Gegenständen. Mit diesen Werkzeugen und seinem eigenen scharfen Verstand ist Elmer bereit, sich hungrigen Tigern, launischen Krokodilen, einem wütenden Gorilla und anderen seltsamen und lustigen Kreaturen zu stellen.
Diese Herausforderung meisterte er tapfer und traf am Ende den Drachen. Dieses Buch wird gerade bei Netflix verfilmt und sollte in 2023 veröffentlicht werden. Ein japanischer Animationsfilm, der auf dem Originalroman basiert, wurde 1997 uraufgeführt. Das zeigt, wie interessant die Geschichte ist.
Ruth Stiles Gannett's beloved tale of adventure and exploration, 'My Father's Dragon' takes the reader on a trip to Wild Island, where the narrator's intrepid young father must navigate a maze of exotic animals - including a rhino, a lion and some hungry alligators - to rescue an imprisoned baby dragon.
At once hilarious and exciting, 'My Father's Dragon' is one of the most honored and cherished children's books of the 20th century and illustrator Ruth Crisman Gannett (the author's stepmother) populates the book with a series of inventive and beautiful drawings of the young explorer's adventures.
This volume is presented in its original and unabridged format.
My Father's Dragon is a wonderful children's story by Ruth Stiles Gannett about a boy who befriends a cat and then sets off on an adventure to Wild Island to rescue a dragon.
Armed with two dozen pink lollipops, rubber bands, chewing gum, and a fine-toothed comb, young Elmer runs away with an alley cat to a faraway island. There, he must overcome fierce beasts in order to rescue a baby dragon. The first of a three-part series, which includes Elmer and the Dragon and The Dragons of Blueland, this Newbery Honor Book and ALA Notable Book has been in print continuously for more than forty years.
The classic fantasy trilogy of Elmer Elevator and the flying baby dragon has delighted children and their parents for generations. Now, on the occasion of their fiftieth anniversary, Random House is proud to bring the three timeless tales together in one beautiful commemorative edition, complete with the original delightful illustrations. A Newbery Honor Book and an ALA Notable Book, My Father's Dragon is followed by Elmer and the Dragon ('rich, humorous, and thoroughly satisfying'*) and The Dragons of Blueland ('ingenious and plausible, the fantasy well-sustained'*). Each story stands alone, but read in succession, they are an unforgettable experience.*Library Journal, starred review
