Publisher Description:
This fun, fact-filled book for kids ages 6-9 is the ultimate guide to Viking history, from Loki and longships to runestones and raids. Entertaining and educating young readers through a combination of close-up images, quirky trivia facts, quiz questions, and fascinating tidbits, it's the perfect book for any kid who can't get enough of these medieval adventurers.

What games and sports did Vikings play? Which animals played a part in their lives? Who was the Viking god Thor married to? Find out the answers to these questions and more in DKfindout Vikings, which features photographs of Viking forts, artifacts, and weapons, as well as realistic re-creations of family and farming life. This book explores all sides of these legendary seafaring settlers, from famous Viking battles and voyages to feasting, trading, and popular pastimes. Though the Vikings often led violent raids on foreign settlements and cities, they also had strong family bonds and rich styles of art, fashion, and storytelling, which kids will discover as they flip through the pages of DKfindout Vikings.
