內容簡介:
''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 children''s editor ''Irresistably funny,
exciting and endearing'' -- Amanda Craig, The Times 20051112 HOW TO
TRAIN YOUR DRAGON:CHILDREN''S BOOK OF THE WEEK: ''This book is great

Sunday Times 20030309 A super story, inventive, ingenious,
perpetually surprising. One to cherish. -- Armadillo, Spring 2003
20030309 A wonderfully wittily written and illustrated story. --
Waterstones Quarterly Magazine 20030401 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, Glasgow 20030406 ... raucous and slapstick...
liberally illustrated with [Cressida Cowell''s] riotous drawings,
notes and maps. -- The Financial Times 20030405 [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

novel. -- St Paul Pioneer Press 20050108 Bulging with good jokes,
funny drawings and dramatic scenes, it is absolutely wonderful.
