After seeing the movie, I found this in the library and just had to read it. I loved the movie and thought it was hilarious. The book follows Hiccup's adventures trying to train his own dragon, Toothless. It reminded me a bit of Diary of a wipmy kid, as it had some pretty comical drawings to accompany Hiccup's funny and heroic story. There are some major differences between the film and book however, and if you don't want your kid reading some 'rude' humor (i.e. underwear humor) then I wouldn't let them at this one. It was funny and cute, but in the end I preferred the movie. Surprising, but true.
