Synopsis
Welcome to Castle de Chevalier, home of Duke Roland in the year 1280. The medieval castle is a powerful stronghold that controls and protects the countryside—but it's much more than a fortress filled with soldiers. The lord, his family, and knights all live there in style. This die-cut, castle-shaped book takes children inside, bringing them into the magnificent hall, comfortable chambers, beautiful chapel . . . and dark, scary dungeon! In addition to press-out jousting characters to play with, there are more than 150 flaps that hide fun surprises. Packed with fascinating facts and humorous, child-friendly text, Lift, Look and Learn Castle is a truly novel treatment of a classic historical subject for kids.

Review
“Flurries of small-to-tiny flaps give good cause to linger at each stop on this buttery-to-battlements castle tour. It's not all typical 13th-century feasting and fighting on display either, as opening teasers warn of 16 anachronistic items (among them a pair of boxer shorts), a lost treasure and a spy—or maybe ghost—to spot along the way. Castle de Chevalier comes equipped with a lord and lady, mail-clad men at arms and servants of diverse sorts. There's also a well-stocked torture chamber/dungeon and, as revealed in cutaway views and beneath the diminutive die-cut flaps, thriving populations of bats, rats and spiders...not to mention the occasional detached head. The visit ends with a tournament, where tents, spectators and jousting knights can be viewed in situ or rearranged to suit with separate punch-out versions." --Kirkus Reviews
