2nd grade material on Vikings, explorers, and Native Americans

[Kate Brown <LaBookWorm@AOL.COM>]

Dear Friends,
     Can anyone suggest any childrens' books, teacher resources, videos,
websites, CD's, etc. about Vikings, early explorers, or Native Americans
that would be appropriate for second graders?
     I have been asked to create a resource center for next year for our new
second grade social studies curriculum.  Although I have been doing research
for months, so far I have had minimal success.  I have a few titles in each
category, but I do not have enough for teachers to use in creating their
teaching units or for students to check out as a class.  Teachers are
particularly hoping for lots of non-fiction and some fiction books for the
children.
     I have had some luck in the Native Americans focus area, but can find
very little at an appropriate reading level in the other two.  Your
suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
     If you don't know of any titles per se, recommendations for possible
sources would also be helpful.  Thanks in advance.
