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

OMG my kid loves this book. It's packed with details about various gods and beasts and their histories and legends. There are some gorgeous illustrations, and a very helpful pronunciation guide in the back, since they're are so many tricky names!

Good book for children

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.

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 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 😆

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.

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!

My children and I both really enjoy this book! Some of the stories are a tad bit scary and some of the names take a 2nd try to pronounce, but we absolutely love it!

This is a great book for children and parents to read together, it introduces a whole new world of myths and legends to children. My son loves learning about Norse legends and this book helped motivate him to work on his reading more!!

A refreshingly new translation of the sagas and myths and not through the Christian lense. Highly recommend!

Beautifully written. Great for keeping the Viking gods alive and ensuring all of the amazing history remains on this earth! I have learned a lot from this book myself reading it to my child.

Great book for those interested on Norse tales of the Aesir! Even has a handy pronunciation guide at the rear . Perfect bedtime reading material for all those heathen families out there.

This book is amazing to help teach children about the Nose Pagan Gods. Has short stories on each with beautifully done illustrations. My boys love learning about their Gods
