This review is from: Who Were the Vikings? (Usborne Starting Point History) (Paperback)

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.
