Knight: A Noble Guide for Young Squires and a Genuine and Moste Authentic Guide

Suggested age: Grades 3-5. Genre: Informational.
This book provides information on the life of knights. However, it uses a clever conceit: The reader's father has been captured and held ransom that he cannot pay. Instead, the reader's father has sent this book to teach his son to become a knight and rescue him when he has learned enough. The book uses the popular pop-up, openable, and removable features that are in many pseudo-informational books lately. This book teaches squiring, jousting, castle design basics, siege warfare, and even mentions some famous knights and legends. This would be a great book to include as a resource for students in studying life in the middle ages.

If only they taught this at school. Perhaps we would then be amongst men and not amongst creatures of the half-arsed consumerist lagoon.

It was a very good book, full of adventures and excitement. It has a board game in it, which makes it even more fun, and a pop-up every now and then to keep you entertained. A great pop-up, pull-out book. Review by Julia Davidson, 9.
