How to Train Your Dragon: 1

my son loved listening to these

It’s basically pictures of dragons and Pegasus and a picture from Spirited Away. The title is a lie. I would not recommend this book if you’re looking for Httyd …

Sound levels very variable. We bought this for use in car on long trips and it goes from very quiet to very loud quickly. Story is entertaining and well read although some female characters would have been nice.

The How to Train Your Dragon series is fantastic! Wonderful for encouraging young boys to read, but enjoyable for the whole family. Of course, the books are better than the (Americanized) movie, but the audiobooks may be the best version of all. It's performed (not narrated) by David Tennant, who is absolutely amazing. Always, but especially here, where he's created dozens (hundreds?) of characters that come alive in your imagination. Especially recommended for those who enjoy British lit like Harry Potter, Roald Dahl or Terry Pratchett, but really for anyone who likes stories and storytelling.

Just the best series for little ones. David Tennant is the absolute best narrator and makes all the characters so lively. He makes your imagination come alive with all of the nuances he gives each character. And the writing by Cressida Cowell is impecable as well. We listened to all the books 3 years ago, and now we are doing it again. This time my kid is reading along in the books as we listen. He needed the visual with the auditory to understand some aspects of phonics better. I plan on doing the same thing in 3 years for my other child, and I know I will be just as enthralled then as I am now.

Very high quality set of 9 hardback books and comes in a nice book case. My son is on the 5th book and loves the series. It's somewhat different from the movie and TV series, but it makes it all the more interesting he said. I love the movie as well. Great timing for HOW TO TRAIN YOUR DRAGON 2 coming this July and part 3 in 2016! Definitely would make an awesome gift set or Christmas present.

The box was a little bit torn

This story was the basis for the movie. However other than the hero character's name and the dragon's name, the stories are pretty much different. I did like the story and lessons reviewed by the author. I also read the next five books and found the equally delightful. I am going to enjoy sharing this book with my grand children. I hope to read the book to them through the computer. They live across the country, and I want to have more contact with them. I read to my children and loved the time together.
