Cowell, Cressida

"How to Cheat a Dragon's Curse" and "How to Speak Dragonese" were Cressida Cowell's two books that I noticed first. The title sounds so familiar. Then it hit me. Of course as these are just two out of eight books in the "How to" series with "How to Train Your Dragon" being the first book. The cover of the books are beautifully illustrated with a mention that the story was written by Hiccup Horrendous Haddock III and translated from the Old Norse by Ms Cowell. There are cute doodles throughout the pages of the book too. Now how can I resist all that? And riding on the Harry Potter popularity, more and more children books are made into film including this one.
See I told you so, colourful and nice huh?!
