My Review

Warm and witty, with funny illustrations and a story of overcoming fears, this was Cressida Cowell's first book about Hiccup, the Viking who never acts quite as a Viking 'should'!

Heads Up!

The book is about what happens when Hiccup goes to sea for the first time - you might want to know there is a fair amount of vomit involved!

Publisher Review

The first HOW TO TRAIN YOUR DRAGON book ever, and the inspiration for Cressida Cowell's best-selling fiction books that is now a Dreamworks feature film. So begins Cressida Cowell's stories about a little Viking who cannot fit in. Unlike his dad, Stoick the Vast, Hiccup is tiny, thoughtful and polite and scared of almost everything - especially of going to sea for the very first time. But go he must... So who will save the day when everything goes wrong aboard ship and all the big Vikings lose their cool? This wonderfully witty fable will delight all those who have ever faced up to their worst fears.
