Reach for this book when your child is facing a problem that cannot be solved by brute force alone or when they are feeling self-conscious about looking silly while trying something new. Shirley Climo delivers a spirited retelling of the Norse myth where Thor, the god of power, must trade his pride for a wedding dress to recover his stolen hammer from the Frost Giants. It is a fantastic tool for discussing the difference between physical strength and intellectual strategy. While the story features legendary gods and giants, the heart of the narrative is about humility and the necessity of teamwork. Through humor and high-stakes trickery, children see that even the mightiest figures occasionally need a clever friend and a ridiculous disguise to succeed. The vibrant illustrations and witty dialogue make it a perfect read-aloud for elementary-aged children who enjoy action and comedy.
