"Memorable mix of fun and Viking facts"
February 2020 Book of the Month
Charlie Tanner’s dog Jasper thinks he’s descended from Viking dogs and is determined to find out more. This sparks a series of very funny letters from Charlie to the curator at the local Viking museum, in which Charlie poses questions from Jasper. In fact, questions and answers tell us lots about Viking life and the unusual and ingenious presentation makes it all extremely readable and accessible.
A great way to learn about the Vikings. Jasper has explored space for readers too, and it looks he has more adventures to come, which is good news.
Working alongside literary consultants and Viking experts, Hilary Robinson fuses established facts with belly laugh ideas about life as a Viking. We learn that Vikings were keen skiers as well as boat enthusiasts, that wireless technology Bluetooth is named after the Viking leader Harald Bluetooth and that Vikings were rather fond of bleaching their hair!
