4.0 out of 5 stars Great resource for the classroom!, April 5, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: The Vikings (Living History) (Paperback)
As an elementary education major I believe The Vikings is an excellent resource to use in the upper elementary and middle school world history classroom.The text is rather advanced for elementary school children and some middle school children. However,the text contains interesting information that may not be contained in the child's social studies book. The photos are excellent! They depict living people dressed as vikings, in the viking setting, using viking tools,etc. The photos are very realistic. The photos alone are an excellent resource for the classroom. I highly recommend this book for teachers and students alike.

5.0 out of 5 stars Reenactors Bring History to Life, February 22, 2012
This review is from: The Vikings (Living History) (Paperback)
Most of the children's books that recount Viking history do so with detailed historical illustrations. These beautifully illustrated histories are real works of art and are a great way of appealing to the imaginations of young children. What sets the "Living History" series apart is that they use historical reenactors to illustrate the books. Photoshop allows the editor to place the reenactors in all sorts of unlikely locations. Sometimes these Photoshop images are kind of hokey. But having said that, there is something tangible and interesting in seeing Viking material culture brought back to life by skilled reenactors. Ultimately, I find these staged reenactments to be cool and I have purchased all of the books in the "Living History" series. Highly recommended.
