Book Reviews of Castle: Medieval Days and Knights (A Sabuda & Reinhart Pop-up Book)
Book Review: Great Summer reading fun
Summary: 5 Stars
I got this for my 7 year old to read over the summer. He and his 5 year old sister are having a ball lying on the floor discovering all the secret doors and reading about the Knights.Book Review: A Most Beautiful Pop-Up Book
Summary: 5 Stars
Stunning artwork and a paper-engineering marvel that brings to life the romance of the Middle Ages. I consider my copy a collectors item, if not museum quality. Purchased as a gift for a favorite nephew, will need to purchase another copy for him.Book Review: Cool, Fun, and Educational!
Summary: 4 Stars
One of the more thoroughly realized offerings of Sabuda and Reinhart, this tomb goes way beyond simple pop-up books to take paper engineering to the level of an artform. Each page is meticulously detailed with innovative pop-up spreads, including entire castles, jousting knights, cut-aways of castle interiors, movable depictions of medieval artisan techniques, movable suits of armor, and a full banquet hall scene. The pages are also informative, imparting information on castles in the middle ages and the culture surrounding them in a language that kid's can relate to.

Summary: 5 Stars
Grandparents, parents, home-educators, and children: You will absolutely LOVE this book! I've been compiling books to categorize by era (ancient history, medieval history, etc.) in order to transition into a history-based curriculum for the next four years. Although I initially thought that this book would be too "young" for my children (who are already into G.A. Henty books), I couldn't pass it up because of the PRICE and because it was presented/endorsed by Sabuda. I am SO glad we got it! The art is amusing, the details are overwhelming, and the engineering is delightful! Also, the fact-filled narrative is informative yet pretty funny. The book serves its purpose well: it educates, leaves them eager to learn more, and in the case of big kids (mine are 9 and 11) gives them a break from the "heavy" reading and keeps things fun. Enjoy!
