5.0 out of 5 stars Book captivates and informs childrem!
"The Vikings" is a very informative book which captivated my childrens attention! They could hardly wait for each day's new reading.

3.0 out of 5 stars Way too tough for a fourth grader
This book would probably be more for a fifth or sixth grader. Very long and complex for a 10-year old. The book was interesting but too wordy to hold his interest all the way through.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great historical fiction!, January 23, 2010

This review is from: The Vikings (Landmark Books) (Paperback)
Janeway is a wonderful storyteller making Eric the Red and Leif the Lucky come alive. My kids all enjoyed the book and my 8 year old son begged to read more about the Viking adventures. I was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed and learned from this book. It also inspired us to learn more about Norse mythology. What a great way to study history!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Read!, January 14, 2012
This review is from: The Vikings (Paperback)
I enjoyed learning about the daily lives of the Vikings and also the adventure of Eric the Red and his son, Leif. I would recommend this as read aloud for any family who wants to learn more about Vikings and enjoys adventure or for a child at about the 5th grade reading level. This coordinated beautifully with The Mystery of History Volume 2 lessons about the Vikings.
