Praise for How to Train Your Dragon:
IRA and CBC Children's Choices List 2005
"Short chapters, clever slapstick, kid-pleasing character names and
goofy, childlike drawings will keep even reluctant readers turning
these pages--and chuckling as they go."--Publishers Weekly
"...This is a goofy and exciting tale of an underdog who proves
that brains can be just as important as brawn. Kids will hoot at
the ridiculous names and sympathize with Hiccup's exasperation with
his truly obstinate but strangely lovable dragon. A delightful
read."--School Library Journal
"A narrative rich in dragon muck... genuinely fierce [and]
intelligent."--Kirkus
"This hilarious farce will appeal to heroic fiction
fans."--Booklist
