Overview

A book about being the eldest child in the family, finding inner strength, and conquering fear

Josh is as brave as a Viking warrior. And not much can scare a Viking. Not even bullies. But the two littlest Vikings are so fearless they think they’re invincible. When Pop takes the family to Viking World, the two littlest Vikings go berserk. Josh is in for one rocky ride as he discovers just how far he’ll go to keep them safe.

Reviews

“A fun and adventurous book about being brave and looking after your siblings. . . . Norman Jorgensen’s words and James Foley’s illustrations perfectly complement each other. As with all good picture books, the words allow room for the illustrator to use artwork to expand and add meaning to the story.” —Buzzwords

“Readers of all ages and experience will tumble into the greatest Viking adventure as soon as they open the book. Viking information and illustrations of the madcap Viking World are placed tantalizingly inside the front cover and there is a code to crack for older kids in the back. Foley’s colorful and detailed illustrations ensnare the readers whilst Jorgensen’s characters and cleverly structured parallel storylines propel them at full throttle until the final page.” —West Australian
