My Father's Dragon by Ruth Stiles Gannett, 1948
An adventure story of a boy rescuing a dragon from the animals on Wild Island using chewing gum, two dozen pink lollipops, rubber bands, a toothbrush and tube of toothpaste, six magnifying glasses, a comb and hairbrush, seven hair ribbons, an empty grain bag, and a very sharp jackknife. Slightly odd. Most notable feature is the use of telling the story from the child's perspective ("my father").
