Norse Gods and Goddesses

Jeff A. Menges has compiled a fine colouring book on the Norse Gods and Goddesses for the excellent Dover publications.Just like the others in the series this too works on two levels.It both entertains and educates.Firstly as a colouring book this is excellent and surprisingly cheap.The art is clear not so detailed as others which makes it much better as a colouring book.Dover really are focused on saving the planet and the paper that they use is recycled- saving trees and planting others. So there is a trade off with the quality of the paper.True you would be better with coloured pencils rather than paints or pens as both will bleed and actually go through the pages.The paper is not robust and the siren's call of the photocopier set to 131% beckons.Secondly the book actually tells you something about the fantastic subject of Norse Mythology which has always seemed a lot earthlier, if you will pardon the expression when talking of gods.If you are a teacher or in Education then this is the book for you.Each page has a decent caption and a reasonably detailed explanation.True not all the gods or goddesses are covered but the book would have to be many times thicker to cover half of it.The subjects selected are excellent and very detailed with a good selection of subject matter.If you are teacher or in education and you class or students are covering the Vikings then this is an excellent resource.As a Primary Teacher and History Coordinator I was always after good resources.In my opinion this book would have been an excellent choice. Inexpensive and adaptable.Jeff A. Menges has compiled a brilliant book.Get it while you can for pennies like I did mine.Thanks for reading.
