Today,<\/h2>\n

we are going to start a book that is made up and couldn’t be true. This is a book with talking animals. This is a book with flying dragons.<\/p>\n

And this book is filled with adventure! And this book has a map! We will follow along on the map as we read each chapter. Take a good look at it now.<\/p> <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n

Now, before we begin I want to point out one thing that can be a bit confusing. The name of the book is\u00a0My Father\u2019s Dragon<\/em>. The narrator \u2013 the person who is telling the story \u2013 often calls the main character \u201cmy father\u201d. But, the main character we see and follow is a little boy named Elmer. That\u2019s the confusing part. You may be wondering, \u201cHow can a little boy be a father?\u201d<\/p> <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\t <\/div>\n\t \t<\/div>\n\t\t
