Join Kid Scoop on a journey back in time to Northern Europe in the days of the Norsemen who believed in many mythical gods and goddesses led by the mighty Odin. Such beliefs were a critical part of shaping the Norse culture and behaviors. The powers of the gods and legends of their adventures helped Norsemen make sense of their world and even inspired today’s Superheroes! On your journey Odin and his wife Frigg will introduce you to Heimdall, Mjollnir the Hammer, Thor, tricky Loki, and a horse with too many legs. Discover how the memory of these first Superheroes—lives on every week in a most unusual way.
