音声化にあたり、原作「My Father's Dragon」を原文に忠実に新訳し、みんなが知っている「エルマーのぼうけん」とは一味違う、新しい「エルマーのぼうけん~あたしのパパのドラゴン~」としてよみがえりました。原作「My Father's Dragon」は、アメリカ文学に伝統的な「ほら話」の一種で、小さな女の子が自分のパパの不思議な話を一生懸命している、というものです。おそらくパパが「ほら話」のつもりで話したことを、「ウソじゃないもん、あたしのパパは本当にドラゴンに乗ったんだから!」と、自慢げに友だちにでも語っているのでしょう。勝気で健気でかわいらしい少女の語りと、数々の困難を知恵と勇気を振り絞って切り抜けていくエルマーの姿、そしてユーモラスで個性的で表情豊かな動物たち。ケモノ島に捕まったドラゴンをめぐるエルマーのぼうけんを、オーディオブックでお楽しみください。
