Little Viking Hiccup is worried about going to sea for the first time, but his father, Stoick the Vast, laughs at his fears. When Hiccup consults the oldest Viking, he advises Hiccup to discover the marvels of the sea for himself. In the end, Stoick the Vast admits that Vikings sometimes get frightened, but, Hiccup adds, "That's what makes them so brave." This entertaining, encouraging tale is accompanied by breezy watercolors.
