Publisher's Summary

Inspired by the film that delighted parents and children alike, this audiobook version of How To Train Your Dragon is a whole new experience that will have you falling in love all over again.

The story of Hiccup Horrendous Haddock III's 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....

Loved it!!!

I'm a big fan of both David Tennant and the HTTYD movies/series. I love David's performance here and can't wait to listen to the rest of the books.

Great family book

Almost perfect, the only issue is the sound levels could be evened out a little better.

Excellent narration, good story

David Tennant is, as always, fantastic. I’d give him six stars if that were an option.
The story is completely different from the movie. I’d seen the movie first, and thought i’d give the book a try. But I would not compare the two to each other. This story is being reviewed completely on its own merits, since apart from the characters’ names the book and the movie have practically nothing in common. I enjoyed this book. It was entertaining. But I don’t think I have anything further to give it than that.

Great everything!

Tennant does a fine job of narrating a story that (as always) surpasses the movie that it inspired. Looking forward to the next 14 books! #Audible1
