Everything Vikings: All the Incredible Facts and Fierce Fun You Can Plunder (National Geographic Kids) Reviews
-
A fascinating book about Vikings. We learned a lot of interesting facts, the illustrations and pictures were amazing, and there were a few games in the book to make it fun to be a Viking. My son loved learning about the Gods. My husband liked that the women were treated as equals and could own the land if there were no males.

The kind docent at the Runestone Museum in Alexandria, MN, introduced me to this book after answering 500 of my questions. It's a treasure chest of Viking history, with easy-to-digest fun facts and colorful graphics that helped me visualize where the Vikings lived and conquered. If you're the least bit curious about this period of history, I highly recommend this book.
