Edda: A Little Valkyrie's First Day of School

32 pp. | Holt/Ottaviano | June, 2014 | Trade ISBN 978-0-8050-9703-0 $16.99
(4) K-3 Edda, the youngest Valkyrie in Asgard, wants a friend more than she wants adventure, so her father sends her to Earth for school. The transition is challenging, but Edda successfully finds a friend and learns to appreciate both her magical home and earthly school. Auerbach's lively pen-and-ink illustrations and clever integration of Norse mythology are the high points in an otherwise predictable tale.
