My Father's Dragon
Posted in Book Review

We recently made a trip to Nana's house, where awaiting MattMann were a couple of books from Auntie. One was titled My Father's Dragon. It was copyrighted in 1948 -- the year Nana was born -- by Weekly Reader Children's Book Club a division of Random House. The book was written by Ruth Stiles Gannett. The inside covers host a map of the stories adventure as "my father" goes on an adventure to free the baby dragon who is being mistreated/abused by the animals of the jungle. It is an easy reading book. It is just 10 short chapters. MattMann said, "do we have to . . . " before we started, and by the end of the first chapter he wanted me to keep going to the end of the book. We spread it out over most of a week and adventured along with the narrator on his father's adventure. What I didn't know when we started reading this book was that is part of the Sonlight Curriculum and is still in print today. Our old treasure, turned out to be a "classic" that I didn't even know was a classic until today. Isn't it funny how the Lord brings little blessings into our lives in such unique and special ways? What has the Lord done in your life that seemed insignificant until you saw the bigger picture? Blessings, MaggieRaye P.S.
