This is a popular science book about Norse mythology for children aged 5-10. This book will lead children to understand the origin of Norse mythology, famous mythological figures, and interesting stories that happened to them. Here are gods with different personalities and abilities, such as Odin, who can see the future, Thor, the brave warrior, Loki, who is witty and cunning, as well as ugly but powerful giants, skilled dwarf craftsmen, and various magical monsters, such as Níðhöggr, a half-snake, half-dragon monster with long hair and wings, and Jörmungandr, the Midgard Serpent. There are also various interesting stories, such as where Thor's hammer came from, and how Loki became the mother of an eight-legged horse, and so on. These stories are full of love, loyalty, courage, and justice, inspiring children to be loving to their families, loyal to their friends, and brave enough to fight for justice. This book also introduces the relationship between the naming of the days of the week, the Milky Way, the Northern Lights, and Norse mythology. It helps us understand the ancient Vikings' wonderful imagination of the origin of all things.
