The 32 page hardback book is a must for any fan of Hiccup and Toothless, and a great introduction to the How To Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World film which is released next month. Aimed at children aged six years and over, my son has been captivated by the new book written by Emily Stead.

As well as including illustrations and scenes from the new film and the well known television series, the book includes facts about our favourite characters and their dragons.

We also meet Grimmel the dragon hunter and the Deathgripper dragons, not quite so friendly as the dragons we know and love.

Although we’ve read all the original books and seen the two previous films, this book works just as well for new fans.

As well as the storybook you also have the augmented reality element of the How To Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World book as you can make use of the free app Dreamworks Dragons AR to bring five different dragons and their riders to life.

  1. Toothless is my favorite character! He’s just like a cat-dragon! And who wouldn’t want a cat-dragon as a friend! <3

  2. Toothless because he is so unlike a dragon and more like a puppy, he is just so cute what is there not to love

  3. I like Toothless because he’s such a lovable character and he reminds me a bit of Eliot from the movie pete’s dragon

  4. Toothless, because even though he’s a dragon, he’s cute, adorable and a cross between a kitten and a puppy.

  5. Astrid because she is so brave – shes my 8yo stepdaughters favourite for that reason and is helping her to be braver

  6. Ahh definitely the loveable Toothless! Who couldn’t love him? So adorable and the sort of friend anyone would want x

  7. I have not seen it but my grandson’s favourite is Toothless. He says its because Toothless is cooooool!

  8. My son likes Toothless, he has a Toothless teddy he got from Build A Bear and he has it in his bed every night

  9. Barf and Belch are hilarious with their heads going in all directions and not being able to focus on one thing!

  10. I love toothless as it reminds me of my (saddly passed on) labrador! He was such a lovable beast but he could look fearsome 😀

  11. Toothless has been my favourite throughout all the How To Train Your Dragon works. He’s initially misunderstood, but loyal and loveable
