Media Reviews
Vikings, dragons, Romans and mayhem cavort across the pages in their usual irreverent and hilarious style. --School Librarian
If you haven't discovered Hiccup yet, you're missing out on one of the greatest inventions of modern children's literature. --Julia Eccleshare, Guardian
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. --Lindsey Fraser, Sunday Herald
[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. --Books for Keeps
Good jokes, funny drawings and dramatic scenes. --Daily Echo
This book is great fun and has a Blackadderish sense of humour... full of the sort of jokes that will make schoolboys snigger. --Nicolette Jones, The Sunday Times
Raucous and slapstick...liberally illustrated with [Cressida Cowell's] riotous drawings, notes and maps. --The Financial Times
