From School Library Journal
Grade 4-7 An attractive book, similar in style to the author-illustrator's Merry Ever After (Viking, 1976), that will delight and inform the increasing number of fans of knights and knighthood. When Baron Orlando's son Justin becomes a knight, the baron holds a tournament in his honor. Justin worries about his first showing as a knight, especially when challenged by an older knight-errant to individual combat, which, if Justin loses, could mean forfeiting his life or half of his father's estate. A note to readers likens the tournament to a big-league sports event, and readers can readily make comparisons from the heralds as referees to the identifying crests and colors. The colorful pageantry and bustlefrom the pickpockets and beggars accompanying the camped-out assemblage, to the arms and etiquette of the meetis given in lively text and paintings. (Their authentic details are drawn from such recognizable sources as Bruegel.) A glossary and labeled jacket illustration of a mounted knight and arms add to the usefulness. Ruth M. McConnell, San Antonio Public Library

Knights in Shining Armour,
By DJ's Treasures (Oklahoma) - See all my reviews
This review is from: A Tournament of Knights (Paperback)
I used this book when teaching my 3rd & 4th grade students. The back cover has an illlustration of a knight on a horse, each piece is labeled to allow students to learn new vocabulary. Very nice illustrations throughout the book. A great resource.
