The quirky, detailed artwork by Lee Wildish, illustrator of Charlie's Superhero Underpants, will entertain children for hours. With an amusing surprise ending, this is the perfect story to read aloud to youngsters.

"I think we might need a bigger wagon"

A very silly story of five bored Vikings who are just looking for something to do that they haven't done before. They'd never eaten dragon stew before, one viking not even quite sure what a dragon is, so they decide that hunting a dragon should be fun. Only, they didn't quite realize how big dragons were until they climbed to the top of one thinking it was a hill. The dragon was quite polite about it, inviting them to tea, but the Viking's aren't too bright and decide to see if they could still make their stew, only to find out that dragons breath fire too. Both the story and the artwork is a bit goofy but I kind of enjoyed it, reminded me of Cressida Crowell's Vikings and their dragons.
