This is a World Book Day bonus for the How to Train Your Dragon series and it’s a sweet little addition that I’m glad I spotted in a charity shop. It works as a standalone and you can easily get by without reading it at all, but it does have baby dragons in it and so there’s that.
All in all, it was pretty cute but I doubt I’ll ever re-read it. If you’re a fan of the series or just a completionist like me then you could do worse than picking it up – especially if you can get it cheap.
