A very cute book about a little viking boy. The story first follows a young viking boy and all the things he enjoys doing, especially telling stories. The second half of the book is about the new sister he gains and how he enjoys spending time with her. I really enjoyed all the viking terms and activities added to the story.

Great story about a little bit that gets a new baby sister. Nothing can soothe her until he tells her stories about their great Viking adventures.
I love that they illustrations show a deeper story than the words. It gives you a chance to depend the conversation about siblings and growing up.
Nice art.

Sven was the littlest Viking and also the loudest. He could pillage food from anyone and had the fiercest bite too. But one thing could distract Sven: stories! Eventually he learned to tell great stories too and all of the Vikings loved to stop and listen to them. Then one day, everyone was distracted by something. It was a new little Viking, a warrior princess who was very loud and very sad. No one could get her to stop crying, but Sven had an idea! This picture book is full of humor and parallels modern parenting with the equivalent in Vikings like taking a crying baby on a great ship ride to calm down, rather than in a car. The illustrations are equally funny with very grumpy tiny children insisting on their own way and finding storytelling just the ticket out of the grumps. It is also appreciated that Sven enjoys his new role as big brother too. Appropriate for ages 3-5.
