Elmer runs away with an old alley cat to rescue Boris, a flying baby dragon being held captive on a faraway island. Just how do two dozen pink lollipops, rubber bands, chewing gum, and a fine-toothed comb, help Elmer get past the wild animals guarding Boris on Wild Island? Sequels include: Elmer and the Dragon and The Dragons of Blueland.
