And oh yes, there are also lots of dragons! Fishlegs, Snotlout & Stoick characters are also similar to the movies and that is pretty much where the similarities end. The primary similarity is the character Hiccup and how he is portrayed as a scrawny kid with a pet dragon named Toothless who both live in a barbaric Viking archipelago. An audiobook version is narrated by David Tennant.įirst off, you have to think of this book series as a completely different set of tales than the movies. A third film in the franchise, How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World, was released in 2019. The book is the first of a series, and it was adapted for the animated film How to Train Your Dragon, which inspired the sequel How to Train Your Dragon 2 and the video game How to Train Your Dragon. This is a great choice for reluctant readers. There's plenty of potty humor (farts, snot) - the kind that 8-year-old boys find irresistible. There's a bit of violence (a deer is torn to pieces, a dragon attacks a boy, a boy is swallowed by a dragon but survives, an army legion is eaten by a dragon, a dragon blows up) but no graphic descriptions. Parents need to know that Cressida Cowell's How to Train Your Dragon is the first in a 10-volume series about a gentle young Viking boy, Hiccup Horrendous Haddock III, who must prove he can catch and train a dragon to pass a Viking initiation test.
No swear words, but plenty of potty humor of the fart/belch/snot variety.ĭid you know you can flag iffy content? Adjust limits for Language in your kid's entertainment guide.
