About this title

Synopsis

The castles of Europe have become a long-lasting symbol of the hard work and ingenuity of medieval builders. This volume is a great way to learn all about the engineering principles needed to create these giant, enduring buildings. Readers will learn how to build arches, drawbridges, towers, and more. The photographs and illustrations show the historical period during which castles were built, as well as examples of castles constructed in Minecraft. Readers will also be encouraged to explore computer programming to make their own mods in Minecraft.

Reviews

Gr 2-4�It can be tempting to load up on Minecraft and other game guides in the hope of snagging kids who prefer gaming to reading. Unfortunately, books on the subject have been known to prompt derision or even animosity from players. This series offers very little new information, even for beginners, and provides only a few sets of instructions, which may frustrate dedicated Minecrafters. However, the information presented in the set is accurate, and it�s likely that kids with prior knowledge will read these books closely, with a high degree of analytical attention�a plus for educators, too. VERDICT High-interest titles with low utility. Consider for large collections.α(c) Copyright 2011. Library Journals LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc. No redistribution permitted.
