Part of the Short Tales: Norse Myths series, Shannon Eric Denton’s Thor (Gr 2-5) presents a straightforward retelling of the exploits of the God of Thunder from boyhood to manhood, including the destruction of Ragnarok, and Thor’s lasting legacy. Employing simple language, the brief text is appropriate for newly confident or reluctant readers, and Mateus Santolouco’s comic-book-style artwork, showcasing burly characters with bright colors, have plenty of appeal. Additional volumes in the series star other Norse deities. . .
