This book is wonderful. My 8-yr old grandson is going into 3rd grade but is a grade behind in reading. We bought this to help him learn to read better. What a great book, on several levels. It's interesting and holds his interest -- and he wants to read more. Much of the book is in handwritten script, which helps his learning to read that. With the typed parts, many of the words -- especially the made-up ones -- really stretch him because they're likely not found in a whole-language list of words but he has to sound them out phonetically (which means that he'll never be limited in figuring out how a word is pronounced). The books chapters and sub-chapters are short, usually only 2-3 pages to describe a particular dragon, which makes it easy to stop at a logical break point before it's too tiring. It's nice that there's a whole series to continue with, and I'm sure his younger brother (going into 2nd grade) will pick it up soon.
This book is not a story, but basically an encyclopedia of dragons. It tells you the name, fear factor, attack, speed, size and disobedience rating of each dragon. I love the pages where it shows you all the dragon eggs. All the illustrations in this book are awesome! I especially love the part called Talking Dragonese. Sra Staraway. If you want to know what I said, read the book and you will find out.I love that this book is scary and funny at the same time. I have a lot of favorite parts, but I don't like the part where it shows you the poop of dragons and I don't like that the author never tells us which kind of Dragon Toothless is. But I love the book. Kids who love dragons and the How to Train Your Dragon Books and Movies will love this book too.
My 4 year old grandson loves the book.......He's seen both of the movies.........Will buy the HTTYD II when it comes out soon........Saw it in the theater............Good gift if they are into the dragons........:o)
I bought this book for my brother's birthday and since it got here early I decided to check it out. I've already read the entire book and I'm obsessed with it! First of all the book it's self totally looks like it was made by a kid himself, although some of the dragon art work is amazing while others look like sketches. This book also contains all known information on all of the known dragons! It's the coolest thing ever. If you know anyone who likes dragons, they will love this! Even my parents want to borrow it :)
This is a fun "hand illustrated" and "hand written" book about lots of different dragons. There is a fold out map of the Berg Islands in the back. There are a lot of different dragons represented in this book. There is even an index at the back as a quick reference about all the different dragons from the book series. I was disappointing this is not a complete list of dragons associated with the Netflix TV show series and movies How to Train Your Dragon. This is still a fantastic product. My 5 year old got it for Christmas and he has not been able to be pulled away from sounding out the words and reading to himself on the couch!
My son loves this. The cartoon illustrations really make reading fun and, since it is written like a reference book, he can easily put it down and pick it back up whenever and wherever. (I'm comparing to his chapter books, which require him to put a bookmark in and always return to the same place.) The only thing I didn't realize was that this book goes along with the book series, where Toothless is a small garden dragon instead of the large dragon in the movies.
We really enjoyed reading it and the illustrations are epic. It is a fun kind of guidebook to dragons. The only disappointment is we hoped it would be a little closer to the book featured in the series. There are a lot of dragons missing and no index. The dragon my son wanted to look up wasn't there.However, what is there is fun and it is a great looking and feeling book. Makes a wonderful present.
For the last year or so my granddaughter has been facinited with dragons. Especially the movies HOW TO TRAIN YOUR DRAGON 1 AND 2.Being somewhat of a purist where books are concerned, I was curious about the origin books written by Cressida Cowell. Leah is very smart and like her Nana likes to check things out. The original work is quite a bit different from the Dreamworks version. Leah has spent hours looking at the book and having her Mom read the stories. She loves to pick out the differences and find out more about the "real" dragons. I recommend these books to any parent/child who like the Dreamworks version.
