From cover to cover beautifully detailed artwork will mean that even the most reluctant of readers will be totally absorbed by the fun activities, such as projects and quizzes. Humorous cartoons add a lighter touch, while the wealth of perfectly pitched information reads clearly and fluently. This series really is the perfect introduction to these fascinating subjects.

  Each book in the Insights series provides children with a broad range of topics in history, natural history and science. Six pages with fold-out flaps allow children the opportunity to discover historical facts or animal physiology, such as the exact movement an animal makes when it runs, jumps, flies or crawls. This volume explores the lives of the Vikings, describing what they ate, how they traded, their mastery of sailing craft and their hierarchy. Individual warriors and explorers of renown are mentioned, as is the demise of their empire.
