Littleman was sold the instant he saw the cover. Knights vs Dinosuars? Say less. This book did not dissapoint. Not only was it filled with humor and adventure but the art style was really impressive. We particularly loved how some of the battle scenes were depicted in graphic novel style to really capture the moment.

If you are expecting a rideable black dragon that acts like a cat and Vikings becoming partners with dragons, you will be disapointed. Cressida Cowell's books are not at all like the critically acclaimed (and family loved, including ours) movie series that inspired three tv series and a new live-action movie. But that doesn't mean it's not a fantastic book. There's a reason it became a movie, after all.
