From Booklist
Children will likely know the Vikings primarily as marauding warriors, and although they won’t stop thinking that after reading this title in the Linking Past to Present series, they will also have a nicely balanced understanding of the other significant aspects and lasting impact of their civilization. Small chunks of text, usually a paragraph per page, sit alongside a grab bag of digital illustrations, maps, paintings, and photographs to cover different aspects of Viking culture, from daily life and farming to shipbuilding and exploration to, of course, raiding and berserking. The bottom of each spread features a “Then . . .” and “. . . Now” section that touches on such finer points as how Vikings were the first to use juries of peers (called things), how much of our vocabulary is derived from Viking words, and the remarkably progressive role of women in their society, which took the rest of the Western world centuries to catch up with. Key dates, a glossary, and a handful of resources close out this even-keeled look at a notoriously hotheaded culture. Grades 4-7. --Ian Chipman
