I was delighted to find the 'Castle: Medieval Days and Knights' pop up book while shopping this week. This is one of those children's book that adults can enjoy too. The engineering is amazing and the detailing is overwhelming.

Imagine opening the first page and you are at the entrance to a three dimensional castle surrounded by a moat. There is already a peddler on the path who has been stopped by a gatehouse guard.

This pop up most certainly brings life to this creatively written text on show more the life in Medieval times. In addition to the pop ups there are illustrations of interactive occupations such as spinning wool, knights jousting, an atillator making a crossbow, hammering by worker, etc. And, I expect everyone would think the shiny knight popping up is cool.

This book is a great learning tool for Medieval times as well as much fun.

Pop-up books aren't what they were when I was a kid - they've gone absolutely amazing! The attention to detail and the complexity of the pop-ups is unbeatable, and this one is right up there!

Each page has a main pop-up feature, with several smaller ones tucked into the edges and corners. Simply outstanding!
