Cressida Cowell's first two books about Hiccup Horrendous Haddock III were published by Little, Brown.

Praise for How to Be a Pirate:

"Beneath it all, this is a semiserious exploration of what true heroism and leadership are all about....Rank it with Debi Gliori's Pure Dead series, a cut above Philip Ardagh's out and out slapstick."
- Kirkus

Praise for How to Train Your Dragon:

IRA and CBC Children's Choices List 2005

"Kids will hoot at the ridiculous names and sympathize with Hiccup's exasperation with his truly obstinate but strangely lovable dragon. A delightful read."
- School Library Journal

"Short chapters, clever slapstick, kid-pleasing character names (e.g., Fishlegs, Dogsbreath the Duhbrain) and goofy, childlike drawings will keep even reluctant readers turning the pages - and chuckling as they go."
- Publishers Weekly
