5.0 out of 5 stars Myths and Legends of the Vikings Coloring Book, December 10, 1998

By	[e-mail] (Austin, Texas) - See all my reviews

Reading Level: Young Adult. This excellent little coloring book is chock-full of line drawings of Viking Age art and artifacts, carefully selected to accompany the brief text retellings of the Norse myths by a noted scholar of the Viking Age. Based on the nature of Viking Art, I think this book would be fun to color for young children as well as older ones. The paper is fairly heavy-weight, suitable for crayon or marker, but not paints, and some markers may bleed through. The best use of this particular coloring book is not for children, however, but for artists wishing to utilize Viking Age artistic motifs in their own work -- this book provides line drawings which can easily be used as artist's cartoons for projects ranging from embroidery to woodwork to stained glass to carving and so on. Your child may enjoy this book, but get an extra copy for yourself.
