Reviews
This is a story to be performed and shared, but it’s also one that is quite able to step back and let the artwork speak when it needs.
Daisy May Johnson on Goodreads
The illustrations are vibrant, expressive, warm and detailed. It’s a perfect book to teach young readers about Norse myths and legends, but the educational element comes in such a wonderful and enchanting disguise that it never feels didactic.
School Library Association
A real treat for kids that love adventure, exciting mythical characters and quick reads.
