Read the HILARIOUS books that inspired the HOW TO TRAIN YOUR DRAGON films!

Hiccup Horrendous Haddock the Third is a smallish Viking with a longish name. Hiccup’s father is chief of the Hairy Hooligan tribe which means Hiccup is the Hope and the Heir to the Hairy Hooligan throne – but most of the time Hiccup feels like a very ordinary boy, finding it hard to be a Hero.


When Hiccup’s dragon Toothless is captured by Romans, only Hiccup and his friend Fishlegs can rescue him. But things get WORSE, when the Romans steal Hiccup’s precious book HOW TO SPEAK DRAGONESE and Hiccup and Fishlegs are taken off to the Fortress of Sinister!

Now they must save Toothless AND themselves – but how can they possibly escape?

How to Train Your Dragon is now a major DreamWorks franchise starring Gerard Butler, Cate Blanchett and Jonah Hill and the TV series, Riders of Berk, can be seen on CBeebies and Cartoon Network.

Bulging with good jokes, funny drawings and dramatic scenes, it is absolutely wonderful.

'funny and well writen'
Lindsey Fraser, Sunday Herald, Glasgow
How to Train Your Dragon is a delightful narrative caper... It offers a challenging read to 11-year-olds, and rewards reading aloud, especially for those who relish an element of theatre at story time.

A wonderfully wittily written and illustrated story.
tBk Magazine
We've loved Hiccup's dragon training adventures from the start. (tBk's Top 40 Children's Books)
Books for Keeps
[Cressida Cowell] puts a contemporary spin on the old brains over brawn moral and brings the story to a climax with a thrilling dragon duel. Lots for lots of different readers to enjoy.
The Financial Times
... raucous and slapstick... liberally illustrated with [Cressida Cowell's] riotous drawings, notes and maps.
Daily Echo
Good jokes, funny drawings and dramatic scenes
Nicolette Jones, The Sunday Times

Pet O'Connell
'another fiendishly funny catalogue of disaster'
