Choose Your Winner: Vikings vs. Samurai
So there I am, knee-deep in VIKINGS vs SAMURAI, when I stumble on this gem on Amazon—Choose Your Winner: Vikings vs. Samurai. Yeah, I know what you’re thinking: Vikings duking it out with samurai? Not exactly a groundbreaking idea, right? Hell, there’s a million hot takes online, and the For Honor video game already let these badasses throw down. But a kids’ book? Now, that got my attention. So I hit that “Buy Now” button. And look, as much as I dig our bloody spectacle in VIKINGS vs SAMURAI, there’s no way I’m handing that to my grandkid—it’s a straight-up massacre. But this little picture book? We could have a good ol’ time with that.
Vikings vs. Samurai is this action-packed ride for kids just learning to read (ages 4-8). You got a samurai, a total badass, defending his land, but then—bam!—here come the Vikings, charging in like they own the place. Can the samurai kick some Viking ass and save his city? You know it’s about to go down!
And check this out—the series isn’t just limited to Vikings and samurai. They got Knight vs. Ninja, Aztec vs. Zulu, Elf vs. Dwarf, even Bear vs. Wolf. Now, that’s what I call range!
The Choose Your Winner series is all about getting kids pumped with epic tales and eye-popping illustrations. Founded in 2018, READ2MEDAD is out here dropping action-packed books that both little readers and parents will eat up.
The mastermind behind these books? Koll Hartvigson. Guy was rolling in dough with a cushy banking gig, nearly six figures, and he just up and left it all to start his own thing. Why? To make it easier for dads to bond with their kids. “Sometimes fathers have trouble relating to their kids [with books] so I wanted to create a type of book that a father could relate to, making it easier for them to bridge the gap,” he says. Now that’s a mission I can get behind.
So if you’re loving the brutal clash in VIKINGS vs SAMURAI but want something more kid-friendly, this book’s your ticket. Go ahead, grab a copy, and let the battles begin!
