Collect Days Of The Knights: A Tale Of Castles And Battles (Eyewitness Readers) Created By Christopher Maynard Available In EPub
And you know, see if I could learn something new, I've Read a lot of articles on Robin Hood online and read a ton of fiction, But I thought some books would be Fun,
I only picked out ones from the juvenile section though, Because, who cares if I'mand some people think I should only read "adult" books Middle grade educational books are the best, : lots of pictures and fair simple vocabulary that makes the information very graspable to most anyone reading it,
I loved the artwork mixed in with the photos of artifacts, That was cool. :
I also loved that there was a fictional story mixed in with the facts to spice up the book, Adding a story definitely helps hold younger readers attention,
I did notice a few errors though, Like saying that they poured oil on invaders, that's actually highly romanticized. Most people couldn't have afforded to throw oil out the window, Mostly, it would have been boiling water, or sometimes hot sand,
Also, there was a picture of a trebuchet, But they called it a catapult, They are similar. But work slightly differently. Get your facts right, nonfiction book!
Other then that, it was pretty good, : entertaining and educational. I'd definitely recommend this to teachers or parents who have kids in older elementary school and early middle school looking to learn about castles and Knights.
We had to get some medieval books to read after visiting the Renaissance Faire! This had some interesting tidbits of info, I've never been a huge fan of the DK style of putting pictures and short info and labels, but
my boys like it, Simple story, complex words. I got this book because I liked the illustrations and didn't think of getting much off the story, but being a ESL person I ended up learning a few words I'd never heard before such as moat, scaffolding and mummers, which is always nice.
Read this aloud to add to our knights and castles study for homeschool, It got the job done, but didn't have beautiful language or a great story line, It was trying too hard to slip in as many facts as possible, Not really a living book, imo. I didnt mean to select this book, At least it was short, It was a good book but it was slacking colity Slashing swords, shining armor, knights locked in deadly battle the mighty castle is under siege!
