How to Train Your Dragon #1: How to Train Your Dragon

Hiccup Horrendous Haddock III was just a nerdy little Viking, not big or hairy or scary at all. In fact, however terrifying he tried to look, he often just ended up looking quite – well – cute! He wasn’t loud enough to make himself heard at his father’s dinner table. He wasn’t tough enough to beat his rival Snotlout at games. He certainly wasn’t stupid enough to go into a cave full of dragons to find a pet! So how did Hiccup meet his tiny sidekick Toothless the Dragon, and become a mighty hero after all?

  • The first book in Cressida Cowell’s best-loved series
  • Vikings, dragons, magic and laughs: the perfect mix!
  • Hilarious writing paired with witty pencil cartoons
  • Now a major Dreamworks film and TV spin-off series

“Bulging with good jokes, funny drawings and dramatic scenes, it is absolutely wonderful.” Independent on Sunday
