Castles (Usborne Beginners) Reviews

  • Amanda Tero

    I have the newest edition of this book, but I'm fairly certain the text is the same. It's a great beginner's book with about four sentences per two-page spread. There are a lot of really neat facts about castle life which gives the young reader and introduction to castles without being overwhelming or going into gory details.

  • Lynn Davidson

    This is a great Usborne Beginners book. My son definitely enjoyed this books and learned several new and interesting facts while we read this book. He enjoys battles and knights so this explains the how's and why's of castles which will help kids better understand they time period.

    Usborne never fails. We love all things Usborne. This book is simple, direct, and yet quite detailed in explaining all things Castle. After reading this book my boys couldn't wait to play knights and Castles.
