Description
Toothless was the truly unremarkable dragon of the truly extraordinary Viking Hero, Hiccup Horrendous Haddock III. But it wasn't always like that. There was a time when Hiccup was finding it hard to be a Hero, while Toothless was finding it even harder to be a Hero's dragon. Being disobedient and cheeky is not as easy as it looks.Tags

This is a short sweet spin off from the How To Train Your Dragon series, written for World Book Day. It is solid enjoyable HTTYD, the boys are given a task (this time, catching fish), get picked on by the bullying vikings, Toothless does something daft, they all have an encounter with a ferocious and scary dragon, and it all ends happilly. I was slightly disappointed that the authorial voice was almost exactly the same as in the other HTTYD books, I was hoping it would sound more like Toothless, but like all the HTTYD books it's incredibly easy to read and funny, so that's not a strong criticism!
It's a very short read, finished within the hour! A recollection by Toothless of a competition Hiccup's been to which ended in a memorable note. A pleasant read especially for the young ones
