Story
The kingdom of Cornucopia was once the happiest in the world. It had plenty of gold, a king with the finest moustache you could possibly imagine, and butchers, bakers, and cheesemongers whose exquisite foods made a person dance with delight when they ate them. Everything was perfect - except for the misty Marshlands to the north, which, according to legend, were home to the monstrous Ickabog. Anyone sensible knew that the Ickabog was just a myth to scare children into behaving. But the funny thing about myths is that sometimes they take on a life of their own.

If you were asked to choose the most fabulous character in English literature, who would it be? Perhaps the one and only Ichabod Crane. When this superstitious schoolmaster moves into the quiet village of Sleepy Hollow, he quickly starts vying for the affection of heiress Katrina Van Tassel. However, this puts him in the path of town bully Brom Bones. Will Ichabod win Katrina's heart, or will he fall victim to the small town's big legend—the Headless Horseman?

My Teenagers Like This
Any additional comments?
I bought this audio for my 4th grader. He received the book set of the series at Christmas and still hadn't read any of the books. Some of his friends wanted to borrow his books but I told him that he had to read them first. We compromised with my purchasing the audio version.
It took a few times of turning the audio on in the car while we were driving before he would listen to the whole story. He enjoyed the narrator, David Tenant so much that he listened to the whole audio until he was finished at midnight on the day he finally committed to listening.
He begged me for the next book and then my 2 teenage daughters wanted to know what all of the fuss was about. My daughters were laughing out loud while listening to the narrator and enjoyed it so much that they want all of the books in the series on audio.
Before my daughters started listening to the audio they said that they couldn't possibly enjoy a story they weren't reading from a book they had in their hand. David Tenant proved them wrong.

A heartwarming funny bloodthirsty scottish frolic
What did you like best about this story?
The narrator conveys a delightful sense of the unlikely relationship between a dragon and a boy. As in all the best kid's stories the grown ups come across as clueless and the bigger bullying boys as morons. Although the listener knows a happy ending is inevitable, there are still some twists and turns, battles and obstacles that keep the story moving. Above all - it is funny. My 10 year old turned up his nose and said the story was too young for him and then listened agog all the way through.
What does David Tennant bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
His natural Scottish accent! He moderates it to adapt to all the characters and his stuttering Toothless the dragon is just adorable.
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
Laugh. A lot.
Any additional comments?
Worth it just for David Tennant. And the dragon-potty-training scene!

Great narration, lovely story
Our family listened to this one on a long road trip. It was so good, we had trouble getting out of the car at stops - everybody, including mom and dad, wanted to listen "just one minute longer, pleeeeeeeease!"
The narrator is fantastic - our kids were talking like dragons and vikings for a long time afterwards!

Was expecting the movie version
Where does How to Train Your Dragon rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
The audio book was very good.
Who was your favorite character and why?
Old Wrinkly was my favorite character because he always seemed a step ahead of everyone else.
Have you listened to any of David Tennant’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
No, I haven't
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
When Toothless sacrificed himself for Hiccup.

Listening to the book beat watching the movie
If you could sum up How to Train Your Dragon in three words, what would they be?
entertaining, encouraging, educational?
What other book might you compare How to Train Your Dragon to and why?
The Hero's Guild to Saving your Kingdom.
Did the narration match the pace of the story?
Yes, the narration was excellent for the greater majority of the story, but it was agreed that Toothless was annoying rather than endearing.
If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?
When the manual doesn't help you, it is time to write one of your own.
Any additional comments?
It was much better to listen to the book in the car on a road trip than hearing the movie replay three or four times. It had a similar underdog story, so my kids could listen with out being boarded. Yet they knew the characters.
