From School Library Journal:

Gr 3 Up—Based on the film How To Tame Your Dragon, this entertaining collection contains three stories from the third and fourth "Riders of Berk" graphic novel digests. In "Ice," teen Vikings go on a hunt when Astrid's dragon, Stormfly, turns up missing. They end up traveling the icy Northland seas and invading an enemy camp. In "Litter Sitter," Snotlout is on monstrous nightmare litter duty. He is soon chasing baby dragons that are eating everything in sight. The last tale, "The Stowaway, finds an unexpected new arrival to the Dragon Academy. His name is Hroar and appears to be brave, bold, and popular with everyone except Hiccup, who suspects that Hroar is not what he seems. The artwork comes alive on each page. Readers are continuously reminded that the cold land of Berk offers warmth and a place to expect the unexpected. Glossy, action-packed pages with various perspectives keep readers wanting more. VERDICT Highly recommended for fans of the franchise and of graphic novel adventures.—Lisa Gieskes, Richland County Public Library, Columbia, SC
