About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is starting to ask big questions about how the world works, or when they are showing a budding interest in history and heroic storytelling. This Usborne guide serves as a perfect bridge between the magical realm of mythology and the historical reality of the Viking people. It combines thrilling tales of gods like Odin and Thor with factual spreads about Norse longships, daily life, and the snowy landscapes of the North. While the stories contain elements of bravery and the classic battle between good and evil, they are presented with a curiosity-driven tone that avoids being overly dark. The 48-page format is ideal for the 7 to 11 age group, offering enough complexity to engage older readers while remaining accessible for younger elementary students. It is a wonderful choice for parents who want to nurture a love for both history and fantasy through a well-balanced, educational lens.
