So You Want to be a Viking

Become a Viking warrior in this interactive guide that transports three modern-day kids back in time to Scandinavia in 991 CE. With the help of a big, burly Viking named Bjorn and a haunted shield-maiden named Hervor, they'll learn how to wield a battle ax, plunder and loot, navigate the seven seas, recite rude poems, and scare enemies into submission. This book is packed with the latest scholarship and zany illustrations by Japanese cartoonist Takayo Akiyama. Perfect for kids who dream of becoming fierce Norse warriors.
