A review by kaylana
D'Aulaires' Book of Norse Myths by Ingri d'Aulaire, Edgar Parin d'Aulaire

4.0

Myths are always fun and informative. A few are actually good stories while the rest seem perpetuate sexism and violence...but these stories can be used to talk about the hows and whys of back then as well as what's similar and different today. They're all ways to talk about the world and get discussion going, especially with my son.

The d'Aulaires are great story tellers. I think they weave the stories together very well and they don't shy away from the not-so-great parts of the myths. The illustrations aren't my favorite but the still add to the stories.
