A great nonfiction book for children. Great facts and pictures for young minds to explore the lives of early vikings.

Thank you so much to NetGalley and DK Children for my copy of Eyewitness Viking by DK in exchange for an honest review. It published April 26, 2024.
I have a huge interest in all-things-viking, and I found this book to be totally fascinating. I cannot wait to share this with my homeschooled children, they will absolutely love this book. I would totally recommend this as a gift for any young explorer, for it belongs in any public, school, or home library!

As an adult, I find children's non-fiction incredibly underrated. I still love to learn new things, but don't want to read a dense 500 page adult non-fiction book to do so. I also love learning alongside my elementary aged son who enjoys these DK books as well!

This Viking book was especially fun to read after recently reading a Viking inspired adult fantasy! I learned a lot, in a quick and easy format! The fact that stands out the most is that Vikings were the first Europeans to colonize North America. I loved the sections on women & children, food, and the Q&A in the back. Beautiful pictures throughout.

Thank you Netgalley and DK for an eARC!

Succinct with great photos. I read this with my children and they were engaged and had questions. Really great format. Would be great as a school resource.
