What a Viking!

Rating:
Summary: Vikings rule!
Review: 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.
