Way too tough for a fourth grader
This book would probably be more for a fifth or sixth grader. Very long and complex for a 10-year old. The book was interesting but too wordy to hold his interest all the way through.
Book captivates and informs childrem!
"The Vikings" is a very informative book which captivated my childrens attention! They could hardly wait for each day's new reading. My 2nd-7th grade children enjoyed learning about the exciting adventures of Leif Erikson and the Viking explorers. We all learned much from this well written introduction to America's earliest explorers and we highly recommend it!
