What was it like to live in a medieval castle? This unique book, perfect for reluctant readers and aspiring architects, shows you.

 

For any child who has wondered what life was like in a real medieval castle, this book introduces an architectural marvel through pop-ups, hidden panels, and the helpful commentary of a castle ghost. Every aspect of existence in a castle—from how it was built, to how it was defended from attackers, to what people ate and how they lived—is illustrated and explained in this uniquely designed story.

 

Oversize and chock full of facts, this book makes an excellent addition to a pop-up book collection and is ideal for gift giving and as a starting point for future research.

4.0 out of 5 stars Lovely book, beautiful illustrations, May 8, 2009
By 
JJH-V (Washington State) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Castle: A Three-Dimensional Interactive Adventure (Hardcover)
The Kay Dixie illustrations are what make this book worth its price - they are detailed and beautifully colored. The "story" in the book uses the voice of a youth, child of the Constable, who lives in the castle and tells the story of its method of construction, and events which happen there. The pages contain many flaps to lift for more information, and some nice pop-up pages and slide tabs. There is a plethora of information about castles to be found here, and it makes a nice addition to a collection of engineered books.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fascinating, April 22, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Castle: A Three-Dimensional Interactive Adventure (Hardcover)
Very cool book and a great way to present the information. I was impressed by the pop-up style... haven't seen that in any books since I was a child. The one-star review left by someone else is bogus: this book is NOT meant for toddlers or pre-schoolers. For a nine to 12 year old, the info is entirely age-appropriate.
