How to Train Your Dragon: Book 1 - Read the hilarious first book that inspired the films [Paperback] Cowell, Cressida

**How to Train Your Dragon: Book 1** throws you into the wonderfully chaotic world of Hiccup Horrendous Haddock III, a scrawny Viking who's spectacularly bad at being fierce. When tasked with capturing and training a dragon, Hiccup ends up with Toothless – the smallest, most pathetic dragon ever. What follows is pure comedic gold as boy and dragon stumble through adventures that somehow save the day.

Cressida Cowell crafts this brilliant middle-grade fantasy with themes of friendship, courage, and finding your own path. Perfect for kids aged 8-12 who love humor with their heroes, plus nostalgic adults who adored the DreamWorks films (though the books came first, thank you very much!).

This preloved paperback from Patina Paperbacks is ready for its next adventure – because great dragon-training stories deserve multiple lives.

"Bought this after watching the movies – the book's even funnier and more inventive than the films."
