Publisher's summary

The story of Hiccup Horrendous Haddock III rise to fame, through his dragon-training exploits, told in Hiccup's own words by David Tennant.

Hiccup was a truly extraordinary Viking Hero, Warrior chieftain, awesome sword-fighter and amateur naturalist. He was known throughout Vikingdom as 'the Dragon Whisperer' on account of his power over these terrifying beasts. But it wasn't always like that....

David Tennant is fantastic!

You couldn't have found a more perfect narrator for this series. I wish it wasn't abridged, but the story still holds up. My boys really enjoyed it (as did my husband and I).

Delightful and very cleaverly written!

I had so much fun listening to this book. The intro music before every chapter gave me a fright a few times, so that’s why I marked it down with a star.

Well done to both the author and narrator!

Cute book

Would you listen to How to Train Your Dragon again? Why?

Probably, david tennant is amazing and it was nice to listen to on a long drive.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Fish legs, the side characters are always more interesting, it's a kids book though so not a major requirement

What does David Tennant bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

Tennants accent is amazing, and perfect for the book. but there is nothing bad about him anyways.

Brilliant car-trip entertainment

We didn't know this book (or indeed the series) and hadn't heard a David Tennant-narrated book before, but the whole family--daughter, 7, son, 9, and parents--gives this two thumbs up. We loved it. We chose it for a long car journey, which as it turned out, was made even longer by a holiday traffic jam, and we really got lucky. The story is funny and involving and the narration is terrific, with great variety in the characterisations and beautiful delivery of the humour. I'm about to buy another in the series to store away for our next car trip, and the kids have since acquired two of Cressida Cowell's books. Highly recommended.

David Tennant is absolutely brilliant!

Listening to this book was a pure joy! David Tennant is amazing and his scottish accent is essential to this book so that makes him perfect for the job!
