We thoroughly enjoyed this book during our unit study of the Vikings. I read the whole book aloud to my 8yo daughter and 5yo son over the course of several days. They found it fascinating and so did I.

It is written in such a way that it is *very* complete and encompasses a HUGE amount of information on the vikings, yet it is also still very accessible and quite enjoyable. The illustrations are magnificent [as always with Usborne books] and they really add to the book.

We learned a whole lot with this book [mom included!] and it is one we will re-read through the years and one we will refer to as a reference book as well.

I think anyone would enjoy this book and really get a lot out of it.

It was nearly impossible to find a book about Vikings that would appeal to a 4yo Viking enthusiast. "Who Were the Vikings" fit perfectly. There was enough text to be informative, and plenty of illustrations to keep a non-reader glued to the pages.

A great deal of information delivered in the very readable way with great illustrations. Well worth your purchase!

What can I say? This is a great book! Enjoyable, fun, easy to read and understand, and complete with great pictures depicting the times and lives of the vikings.

The book while being child friendly, is also enjoyable to adults as well. It is full of great information, and even offers a website address to log on to to gain still more info on the topic!

For the price I paid for this book, I will keep it happily in my collection for a long, long time.

Hail Ragnar!

I would definitely recommend this book. It is informative, without being too descriptive for young children. It was very interesting and children of both genders were entertained while using this book to learn.

I bought this book as a companion to Yo, Vikings!. It is full of detailed illustrations and looks like it would be hours of educational entertainment.
