“The blacksmith‘s children are chasing chickens. The cook builds a big fire in the kitchen. The cook‘s helper draws water from the well. He must water the garden. The dog gets a drink, too.”

I think children would be really interested in this book because castles are not something they hear about often. This books gives a lot of description as to what castles are, how they work and how to “enter” or “leave” them.

Genre: nonfiction
I love how small the pages are in this book, but the illustrations take up the whole page. This makes it more fun and colorful.

Nonfiction. This is a wonderful nonfiction story for a classroom or young children, it‘s fun to read and also fun to look at making it a pretty engaging story. I thought it was really fun and the illustrations were very cute and intriguing.

Castle: How It Works by David Macaulay and Sheila Keenan, 2012. This is a fun informational book that uses illustrations rather than pictures to show the facts. It makes it easier for the reader to imagine a real medieval castle and the language is very much in a storytelling style which makes it very fun to read.
