Can’t get enough of Dragons…who can? Well, Cressida Cowell has written and illustrated a series of twelve books, beginning How to Train your Dragon about a smallish Viking with a longish name, Hiccup Horrendous Haddock the Third, Hope and Heir to the Tribe of the Hairy Hooligans. His name alone gives you a flavour of the anarchic stories. The embossed covers are striking and the books are full of ridiculous names, silly drawings, raucous jokes, and serious child appeal.

From Caroline's list on night-time, getting to sleep, and dragons.

I just love dragons and this book is the first in a whole series about different dragons. I’m also a big fan of the Vikings and these books bring those two favourite things together.

The book’s hero is a young Viking boy called Hiccup and this book tells the story of how he goes about catching and training a dragon. It is such a fun, and funny, book and the illustrations are brilliant because even you or I could probably have a go at drawing them too. You will find yourself laughing out loud.
