Norse Mythology for Kids: Tales of Gods, Creatures, and Quests

Good book for children

I bought the book for my son who is being introduced to mythology in school and he keeps talking about Greek mythology. Our family is Scandinavian so I wanted him to learn Norse mythology. He was super happy getting this, he even squealed. I have found myself sneaking the book out of his room so I can read it, too 😆

For years we have always read D'Aulaires' Book of Norse Myths and my kids really enjoy it. While Dr Nordvig's version are different, my kids really like the stories and were very enthralled by the beautiful illustrations. Definitely a family favorite.

Lovely book. I recommend ordering it by itself so it ships alone or with other similar sized books because it is not protected at all during shipping. The front cover arrived damaged and not giftable. If it's for kids to read, I'd guess it's best for 4th grade reading level and up. My bloodthirsty kids can't wait to read the stories.

I bought this a few years ago for my kids . They enjoyed it and I did as well.as someone who was just getting in to norse paganism at the time I really enjoyed the art work and the break down of each storie.you will not be disappointed with this at all.its somthing that is great fro the whole family.

This is a wonderful tool for introducing the Norse myths to children and can be a good refresher for adults as well. The chapters are not too long and hold your attention. Dr. Nordvig has included a glossary to help you with pronunciation. There is also a nice reference page for further reading and research if you want more on Norse mythology. The artwork is simplistic, engaging and very colorful. This would make a great gift for Yule or Christmas, I plan of giving a copy to my nephews. I would recommend a hard copy instead of digital to fully appreciate the book especially if you are a tactile person. I look forward to future books of Dr. Nordvig.

Love it! THANK YOU! I've never been remotely satisfied with a Norse mythology book for kids, but this is perfect! Easy to read without being simplistic. Age appropriate with the right amount of oddness and edge. Totally triggers the imagination. The art is gorgeous and creative. Perfect for the entire spectrum of readers- from children who prefer small doses read aloud to them, to parents on the verge of reread-madness, to mini intellectuals who will love the glossary, index, further reading, and references! And for my fellow tactilophilic aesthetes, the book itself satisfies the senses. Buy it, gift it, you won't be disappointed!

Just received this book for my daughter and wanted to write a quick review: so far she loves it. The illustrations are really nice. We just got it today so we haven't had the chance to read it through but so far I'm very happy with it. We'll start reading it tonight. Edit: Looking through this book more I wish there were MORE illustrations. My daughter is 3 and I'm not entirely sure I'll have her full attention with the limited illustrations. But the ones we have are beautiful. Just wish there were more.
