Format:Paperback
Lots of detail in the pictures to keep children occupied. Lots of different things to look for within the pictures too. The book covers all the key castle areas with just enough information for 6-10 year olds to understand easily. Focuses on the lives of different people within the castle and the function of each area.

This book is just what every curious child will love. Every two pages present a question at the top of the page which is answered through text and illustrations. Other related questions add details to the topic and a few to-do activities guarantee some extra fun. The internet links suggested for each topic are simply great, offering a chance to actively explore more about a castle and its inhabitants. The language is comprehensible to young children and each section gives a lively picture of all the routines and events that involved the people living there. A delightful book which will attract the attention of grown-ups as well.
