Read this book in mind to use with my Year 3 class (aged 7-8) as part of our Anglo-Saxon and Viking topic.
The book has been split up into 10 main legends, with each story having 10 facts relating to it and the background explained. Each of the stories has been told in a different way, so you have a comic strip, a play, a diary entry etc. All have pictures that add to the story. Children will certainly like this book, it humorous (with some adult humour as well!) and gives lots of informative about the Vikings.
Unfortunately the text is slightly too old for most of my children to access, but I did manage to use some of the stories with my higher ability children. But this is a good book that lots of children will enjoy would recommend to children and teachers alike!

Despite sometimes bringing the jokes a little bit far, Cox still managed to wrap the tales decently in a form of a children book. This was a quick and fun read, overall.
