Penelope Dyan
Sometimes it’s fun to just pretend you are a Viking for a day! And that is very easy to do when you are in Oslo, Norway; because you can see first hand how Vikings really used to live, and then you can imagine going back in time to live like a real Viking! In Oslo, there is a lot to see! From the modern day town to the wonderful museums, that aren’t really like museums at all, but truly reflect (in life-size ) replicas and restorations of Viking boats and other Viking artifacts, to the Norsk Folkemuseum ( Norway’s largest open air museum) to the Oslo Viking Ship Museum (and more) there is a lot of Viking excitement in the air.Written by award winning author, attorney and former teacher, Penelope Dyan, with photography by John D. Weigand, this ’learn to read’ book shows you just a few of the things you can see and do in Oslo, Norway. The main emphasis is of this book is ’imagination,’ and this is the main theme of several of the Dyan/Weigand books about Scandinavia, because this is a place where imagination, art and originality abound! So, practice your reading skills through word recognition, and word repetition and rhyme; and then to further enhance your imagination and to have even more learning fun, watch the free music video that goes with this book on the Bellissimavideo You-Tube channel.
