Children have returned to school, and the Holidays are right around the corner. now I would like to share a children’s book which is perfect for #Homeschooling or in a Library in a Public-School History Class.
You will find the book inside our Christmas Gift Guide 25: Norse Mythology for Kids: A Fun Collection of the Greatest Heroes, Monsters, and Gods in Norse Myth Part of Norse Myths By Peter Aperlo. Even though this is a great History book it’s fun to read any time of day or night.
I wanted to read Norse Mythology for Kids: A Fun Collection of the Greatest Heroes, Monsters, and Gods in Norse Myth Part because I knew Charlie would like the story and it would give us something to talk about.
I sat down this morning to browse through the book. Before I knew it, I found myself reading the book. I enjoyed how the book is divided into chapters including Viking Culture and Family Trees of the Gods which teaches us whose who and where they came from.
David and Charlie sat down and read Norse Mythology for Kids: A Fun Collection of the Greatest Heroes, Monsters, and Gods in Norse Myth Part and they enjoyed the story a lot as well. More than that though they enjoyed the illustrations throughout the book.
Norse Mythology for Kids: A Fun Collection of the Greatest Heroes, Monsters, and Gods in Norse Myth Part is the perfect chapter book for Upper Elementary Students but Charlie said boy’s may like the story more than girls would. I don’t agree with this because lots of girls love History.
