Comic Strip Myths: Norse Myths, Monsters and Viking Voyages went straight into our Y5 reading area and hasn’t been back on the shelf since! It is an engaging and accessible introduction to Norse mythology that would appeal strongly to KS2 readers, particularly those interested in myths, legends and history. Combining comic-strip storytelling with factual information, the book brings Viking myths and characters vividly to life in a way that feels both entertaining and educational. It is a must have for any KS2 class exploring the Vikings as part of their history curriculum.

The colourful illustrations and comic format make the book especially approachable for reluctant readers, while the fast-paced retellings help children engage with complex myths and unfamiliar characters more confidently. Themes of bravery, adventure, trickery and heroism run throughout the stories, providing plenty of opportunities for discussion and comparison with other mythological traditions.
