"Children will enjoy giggling at David Tennant 's rumbustious reading of How to be a Pirate"


The Times - July 16, 2005 - Christina Hardyment


"The fact that Cressida Cowell 's How to Be a Pirate  is read by David Tennant, the next Doctor Who, is reason enough for recommending it, but the latest instalment of the adventures of the juvenile Viking Hiccup Horrendous Haddock III is also hilarious in its own right.


Jauntily framed in music, it offers a rich dose of Tennant's North British vowels, plus a touch of Cockney for tiny Toothless, Hiccup's unreliable dragon ally."
