ACTUALLY, nevermind about voting in comments. I'll just make a poll. (*feels stupid* >.<)
If you want to vote in the comments, go ahead, but make sure to choose the two you want in the poll.
Suggestions will still go in the comments, 'kay?
D'Aulaires' Book of Norse Myths [amazon info]
Apparently, the d'Aulaires have written other books on mythology and other things, and I like the illustrations. Pic of the book cover in the link.
Gods and Heroes from Viking Mythology [amazon info]
It's technically "young adult" and there's 152 pages, but there seem to be a lot of illustrations (well, it says "full color" in the description, whatever that means). The one review of it on Amazon is four stars, so it seems okay. Pic of book cover in link.
The Usborne Illustrated Guide to Norse Myths and Legends [amazon info]
I don't like the cover illustration at all; it's a bit overdone and just sort of ickily green. It's a short book--only 48 pages--so I guess some of the lazy people in our group (*coughthepeoplewhoaretoolazytomake6LCFvideosevenwhenwe'reallinthesameplacecough*) won't have to exert themselves overmuch to get through it.
Favorite Norse Myths [amazon info]
I like the paintings in this book, from what I've seen of them. There aren't pictures *everywhere*, but the ones that are there are really good. It's 87 pages and 14 myths.

There are lots more--just go on Google/Amazon and start searching "Norse mythology for children" and you'll get tons. It's silly to list them all, so I just stuck with four.
If any of you, Curly Fries or readers, have any extra books you think would be good for the topic [that being "a children's book of Norse mythology with lots of pictures"], please tell in the comments.
For now, choose two books maximum; then, if there's too close of a competition, we narrow it down to the top two and then choose again.
Voting closes in two weeks; that should be enough time.
