Grade 2-5–Knudsen introduces Eriksson from his life as a Viking boy in approximately 985 to his exploration of North America and his eventual return to Greenland. Soft, impressionistic-style watercolor paintings illustrate the text beautifully.

Still, this title could serve as a basic introduction to Eriksson.–Heather Ver Voort
