About this listen

Read by David Tennant and published in audio for the first time.

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 - here are Toothless's tips on how to train your Viking!

How to Train Your Viking was published in print as an exclusive short story for World Book Day 2006.

Another immensely enjoyable listen as David Tenant brings to life the wonderful writing of Cressida Cowell! Adventure, humor and suspense all brought to life by the wonderful performance of the narrator. We particularly enjoyed that it was written from Toothless' perspective.

Being one of those who have the book (2006) as well as the audible i wanted to read along with David reading it out, but i kept having to stop and rewind because there were so many changes in the words.

I really liked it in general, alongside all the other how to train your dragon books

I really liked how the start looked quite grim and negative, but then changed towards the end to be positive and happy.
