description: This creatively designed board book is die-cut to resemble the profile of a medieval European castle. Opened, it displays both board and standard paper pages. Turning the front cover is like opening the castle gate to show the complexity of structures and in-habitants inside the castle's great stone walls. Young readers will discover workshops, towers, and ramparts for defense against attackers, courtyards, stables, living quarters, a chapel, and the grand room where the king and queen hold court. Here is a child's intro-duction to medieval history, attractively illustrated in full color, and with board pages that cut away to reveal the castle's deepest interior. Also described and illustrated are the swords and weapons of the king's army, knights in armor, jousting matches, and medie-val festivals. Kids will love this book, which can also serve as a stimulating classroom supplement. (Ages 8-12)
