The Complete Book of Dragons: A Guide to Dragon Species (How to Train Your Dragon)

I was actually hoping tgis was going to be like the one put of the movie, vut it is bases on the books. It is actually a riot to read and interesting what Hiccup went through for his book. Very thorough and some scary pictures but overall a good book and even at my age I enjoy it. I collect silly dragons for my displays at car shows to make people and children laugh as well as myself, see I have several illnesses with no cure. And I need the laughter too and to make someone's day, sgow them the car the talking dragons and now I have added some of Hiccup's dragons. The children love it.

My child is a How To Train Your Dragon fan and this book was begged for for Christmas. She absolutely devoured it and reread it several times. She enjoyed adding it to her Dragon Bookshelf. I highly recommend it for any other HTTYD fans.

When we checked it out from the library, we realized how well-liked this book was because about 8 pages were falling out. Had to return it so we didn't make it worse, so my 6-year-old daughter got it at Christmas and pretty much hasn't put it down since. There's a lot of scripty writing, so your kiddo has to be okay reading that. Was also a great transition to the Cowell "HTTYD" books. Before reading this one, daughter was more interested in the movie version of things. But since picking this up and learning about ALL the dragons and seeing it more in the original context, she's started eating up the books. I get taught a lot more about dragons than I ever thought possible.

My 5 year old son is obsessed with the How to Train Your Dragon movies. He loved looking at all the different dragons and their fun facts.

First off, if you found this review helpful in your decision-making, please click on the helpful button so this review may help others in their decision-making process.Cute book that highly resembles being written by the character (Hiccup) from the movie. Book is hardcover and feels like a good, quality build that will last through some punishment from a 7 year old. Looked so interesting that I decided to get 2, 1 for me and 1 for my daughter. She loves it and takes it to school for her and her friends to view during recess on a rainy day. However, I personally wish there was a little more of a detailed description for each individual dragon, instead of 1-2 sentences (see photo). Overall, she really likes it and thats all that matters, so I would recommend this book for any child who loves the movies/tv show.

Great gift idea

My wife and I have read through this book at least 4 times at this point. He loves learning about all the dragons, the pictures and diagrams are really fun, and he really likes when the dragons aren't listening or have crazy powers. It's written as if Hiccup is keeping a journal so sometimes there are normal pages and others are "hand written" with drawings and notes and diagrams about the dragons. One of my sons favorite books as it almost always stays out on his dresser instead of getting put away.

Well received gift
