5.0 out of 5 stars Concise
Reviewed in the United States on December 26, 2021
Verified Purchase
Got this for my 4 year old. This has a good amount of photos and historic art with a good mix of facts. A good concise introduction to knights. About 2 pages dedicated to each subject covered (arms, armor, training, castles, samurai, crusades, jousting, counter weaponry, etc). Perfect for the 4 yo since it doesn’t require reading it in sequence.

Bought this for my 5 year old son, while my 8 year old daughter does enjoy looking at it too. It is just amazing. Has a couple pages on Samurai. Lots of stuff on medieval warfare, how knights prepared for battle, got dressed, chivalry, jousting, etc. Buy it.

I have to admit I didn’t really understand what Library Binding meant. It means used and literally with some random school library‘s markings and their scan codes adhered, and school name stamped on pages. They don’t remove any of the previous ownership markings. Bizarre

Reviewed in the United States on June 14, 2019

He has recently become interested in the medieval era. We got this along with the catapult kit for his birthday. While he's 13, he's special needs with a lower reading ability. This has the perfect combination of illustrations appropriate to his age and enough text to challenge him yet not overwhelm him. He's year younger brother could easily read it.
DK books do a wonderful job of next level picture books.

Nice little book, not very thick but has lots of images and paragraphs of info. My 10 yr old son wants to earn buying Armor, so part of the deal is reading up on Knights and Medieval history. We bought 3 books online and we're happy with this and it's age appropriate.

John 3:16-17 (KJV)
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.
Pray to be forgiven of your sins today.
