AGES: 3-8 years Delfina Aguilar & Clare Aitken All Hiccup wants is to be appreciated. His friends are embarrassed by him, strangers try to scare him away – so Hiccup decides to prove his worth by finding a job. But – HIC! – he just can’t seem to stop causing chaos. Can Hiccup ever stop erupting long enough to find his place in the world? A warm, funny, absurd tale about picking yourself up, putting yourself out there, and making your invaluable, idiosyncratic contribution to the world from the makers of The Nature of Play. 9781916167919 About the author Delfina Aguilar is the founder of Fanny & Alexander, makers of wilfully analogue toys (and now books) that offer a welcome antidote to our digital age, and to modern toys which only require children to sit passively before them. Fanny & Alexander was founded on a fundamental desire to encourage children (and the adults who love them) to play a little more, and a little better – and The Nature of Play guides them to do just that together, whatever the weather. Designed to be a tool for learning as well as creating many moments of childhood wonder, the book is packed with simple, special ideas for enjoying the changing seasons.
