Leif the Lucky (Order No. 6512-I)

Rating:
Summary: Throw away those boring History textbooks.
Review: History comes alive with the D'Aulaire's series of American history stories for children. My son's favorite is Pocahontis, but Leif the Lucky is also near the top. It is certainly an adventure as Leif travels to Newfoundland and so begins the legend. I am sure children will remember their history much more from these tales than from any dry textbook.

Summary: We looked forward to reading this book everyday.
Review: Leif the Lucky was the first book of our American History curriculum and we fully enjoyed it. It brought many questions to our minds including what happened to the Viking race?

Summary: Leif the Lucky, First Discoverer of North America
Review: This fascinating biography of Leif Erickson is another classic work by the D'Aulaires. Lavishly illustrated with their wonderful lithographs it accurately relates the adventurous tale of the young Viking explorer, his conversion to Christianity, and his colonization of North America. A must for anyone studying the age of exploration!
