What’s inside...

Based on DreamWorks Animation’s hit film, this fully illustrated storybook follows Hiccup, a clever but unlikely Viking hero, who lives on the remote Isle of Berk, where fighting dragons is a way of life. After injuring a rare Night Fury, Hiccup discovers that dragons are not the fearsome enemies his tribe believes. As he secretly befriends the dragon he names Toothless, Hiccup must choose between the expectations of his war-hero father, Stoick the Vast, and a new path of cooperation that could change Berk forever. Packed with exciting scenes straight from the movie, the book captures Hiccup’s daring plan to prove that Vikings and dragons can coexist peacefully.
