Castle
Medieval days and knights
National bestselling pop-up artists Robert Sabuda and Matthew Reinhart present the stunning pop-up book all about castles. Written and paper-engineered by Kyle Olmon and illustrated by Tracy Sabin, over fifteen intricate pop-ups accompany the fascinating text, which guides readers through the different aspects of life in a medieval castle. Readers will learn about knighting ceremonies, battles, and feasts. The true majesty of castles is fully realized when this book is opened to reveal a stunning 3-dimensional medieval world. Published by Orchard Books.
Partners Robert Sabuda and Matthew Reinhart launched their new imprint with this impressive historical pop-up book. With the high standards and meticulous care characteristic of their previous work, this history book both informs and entertains. Each page boasts mini-pages with further details and yet more pop-ups. The attention-grabbing 3-D illustrations may distract kids from the words the first few times they open the book.
But when they're ready to dive in, they will find a wealth of solid historical information. The subject matter lends itself to the complexity and breadth of the pop-up, with detailed castles leaping out of the page and inviting kids to peek around corners and through windows. It's easy to imagine living in the castle, especially with the details about everyday life, including what castle-dwellers ate, wore, and how they spent their time.
