How to Speak Dragonese by Cressida Cowell
How to Train Your Dragon is a delightful narrative caper. It offers a challenging read to 11-year-olds, and rewards reading aloud, especially for those who relish an element of theatre at story time. This book is great fun and has a Blackadderish sense of humour. Full of the sort of jokes that will make schoolboys snigger.
Jaaskelainen: "How to Speak Dragonese by Cressida Cowell and The Magic Tree House: Castle of Mystery by Mary Pope Osborne are big favourites of my children and we spend a lot of time together as a family reading and relaxing. How to Speak Dragonese is great fun and is full of jokes that always make my boys laugh every time we read it. I find reading an excellent way to relax and wind down after a busy day at training and I love reading with my family and my three young boys. Books can be great educational tools and encourage your children to think a lot more than they would playing a computer game or sat watching the television."
