So, here’s the book cover in all its glory.

Are those twins fighting on the right of the image? I think we can quite clearly see who the hero, slightly feisty love interest, fat friend and snarling antagonist are. Doesn’t look too promising does it? Somewhat tired, to say the least.

If the source stories are anything to go by, the hero is called Hiccup Horrendous Haddock III.

You can – just about – get a better look at the dragons from another book cover. This one too is up for pre-order. That promise of “Over 200” combonations is a rather amusing way of saying “12 pages” because that’s what we have here – a 12 page book.

At least that first one has 24 pages, right?

If you look to the Simon and Schuster site you’ll see that the first book is part of a series they’re calling “Dreamworks 3D”, which suggests that this 3D viewer, whatever it is, will be employed in several tie-in books from here on out.
