5.0 out of 5 stars Vikings rule!, September 18, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: What a Viking! (Hardcover)
Fascinating and -- for a picture book -- surprisingly detailed look at Viking life. Hand-lettered sidebars complement the typeset text. Realistic drawings of Viking artifacts are interspersed among whimsical cartoons of the narrator and his family. Includes some gross details that kids will love (such as the latrines) as well as history, art, religion, and sports.

5.0 out of 5 stars Nice surprise -- but parents take note -- potty humor in illustrations, November 14, 2010
This review is from: What a Viking! (Hardcover)
You don't usually get a storybook/picturebook that works as both entertainment and information. This one does.

The illustrations show plenty of Viking technology, and artifacts, and Viking armaments and ornaments, as well as Viking gross-out:

Vikings peeing off the side of a boat at sea.

Vikings vomiting at a banquet.

Vikings on the toilet.

Vikings with their heads split open.

Vikings getting shot by an arrow in the tush.

I guarantee your kids will love this story, and they will have fun learning from it.
