Customer Reviews

Great book!

This book goes hand and hand with Dragonology. Highly reccomend for pre-teen boys.

Great for Boys!

I have a really hard time finding age-appropriate fun books for my 6th grade son. There's tons of stuff for girls, but my son....wow. Really tough. He ATE this book up! He asked if we could get the Pirate one and the second dragon book in the series.

How to Train Your Dragon

This book was very fun to read! Emma- age 6

More fun than you will think!

This book looks younger than it really is in both vocabulary and humor. My ten year old girl read it and loved it. The humor is very entertaining. I read it to my 8 year old son at bedtime as well and we all enjoyed it. I recommend this book for 7-12 year old children.
