About this listen

Listen to the books that inspired the How to Train Your Dragon films, narrated by David Tennant.

THE STORY CONTINUES in the second volume of Hiccup's How to Train Your Dragon memoirs....

Hiccup Horrendous Haddock III was an awesome sword-fighter, a dragon-whisperer and the greatest Viking Hero who ever lived. But it wasn't always like that. Hiccup's memoirs look back to when Hiccup was just an ordinary boy, and finding it very hard to be a Hero.

Can Hiccup find Grimbeard the Ghastly's treasure before Alvin the Treacherous gets his sneaky hands on it? And if Hiccup opens a box that says DO NOT OPEN, will he live to tell the tale?

How to Train Your Dragon is now a major DreamWorks franchise starring Gerard Butler, Cate Blanchett and Jonah Hill and the TV series, Riders of Berk, can be seen on CBeebies and Cartoon Network.

Read the rest of Hiccup's exploits in the rest of the series and check out the all-new Hiccup website at www.howtotrainyourdragonbooks.com. It's the place to go for games, downloads, activities and sneak peeks!

The humour 😂!

Although not your usual story about dragons and vikings, this book is very light-hearted, comical, and a great listen for everyone. David Tennant is such a great voice actor and is a perfect fit for this book thanks to his Scottish accent.

a little bit for everyone

My 8yr old son loves the movies and series so I got him the book that inspired them How to train a dragon. he really enjoyed it however at bed time I'm often really tired and get all my character voices in jumble when I'm reading. Decided seeing if it was available as an audio book would be a good idea, when I found out the narrator was David Tennant I new it was great idea! It was, he kept up amazing voices all the way through the book even though there are so many ( and the accent was MUCH better than mine). It drew both my son and I into this crazy Viking world all cold, damp and wild. The only thing that wasn't so good was having to turn it off after a couple chapters for sleep time, the best thing though....... my son actually getting up on time and getting ready for School really fast so he can listen to some more of the book before we leave for school! thanks, Cressida and thanks David, it's time to down load the next one 😃

fantastic, my son LOVED it and I did too!
