CHILDREN'S BOOK OF THE WEEK: 'This book is great fun and has a Blackadderish sense of humour ... full of the sort of jokes that will make schoolboys snigger.'
A wonderfully wittily written and illustrated story.
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.
[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.
... raucous and slapstick... liberally illustrated with [Cressida Cowell's] riotous drawings, notes and maps.
Bulging with good jokes, funny drawings and dramatic scenes, it is absolutely wonderful.
An excellent sequel to How to Train Your Dragon, this highly amusing adventure story with a dash of toilet humour is perfect reading for boys and girls alike aged 8-12.
Full of madcap action, to-the-death battles and hysterical Viking tomfoolery
