The wonderful series of "Eyewitness" books is excellent for any library, young or old. Gorgeous high resolution photos, along with just enough facts to capture your interest make for a winning combination.
ELIB 530A LibraryThing – Part E – survey This Eyewitness Book is an authoritative introduction to Vikings. It is a book that both adults and children can use to find useful and interesting facts. Each two-page spread has multiple photos and information about some facet of Viking life. It is a book that does not need to be read cover to cover so it lends itself well to being used as a preliminary resource on different sub-topics of the culture. What I like about the book is that it covers the breadth of Viking life and not just their weapons and ships.
The same 2-page layout with great photos and interesting facts as all the titles in this series. I sometimes use this series for writing prompts or copywork. The title explores the world of the Vikings.
Eyewitness books might just have their own section at this point.
