Summary

Welcome to Castle de Chevalier, home of Duke Roland in the year 1280. The medieval castle is a powerful stronghold that controls and protects the countryside—but it's much more than a fortress filled with soldiers. The lord, his family, and knights all live there in style. This die-cut, castle-shaped book takes children inside, bringing them into the magnificent hall, comfortable chambers, beautiful chapel . . . and dark, scary dungeon! In addition to press-out jousting characters to play with, there are more than 150 flaps that hide fun surprises. Packed with fascinating facts and humorous, child-friendly text, Lift, Look and Learn Castle is a truly novel treatment of a classic historical subject for kids.
