So this was the 2nd volume in the series about Hiccup Horrendous III and his dragon Toothless. I must say, the differences to the movie(s) are enormous and I don’t mean that in a good way. But I suppose both forms have their strengths and weaknesses. kids' books are so cool though because of the way the good ones function on multiple levels. which obviously all books do but i think kids' books especially, because the most basic level has to be simple enough that it's very clear to people whose brains have barely started Becoming Brains. like not in a mean way! just, children don't tend to have strong understandings of theme. so you have to spell things out for them: here, it's like, greed is bad. treasure is not the most important thing.
