It's hard to find the three books (My Father's Dragon, Elmer and the Dragon,
and The Dragons of Blueland), but recently I purchased all three bound
together in hardback for a reasonable price. Wonderful stories!

Other ideas:
Little House on the Prairie series
Magic Treehouse series
Trumpet of the Swan
Last of the Really Great Whangdoodles (another Julie Andrews Edwards book)
From the Mixed Up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler (Konigsberger)
anything by Edward Eager!
Tomie de Paola has four chapter books out that are autobiographical
the Raggedy Ann and Andy chapter books, which are being republished in
hardback.

Happy reading!
