The Castle: A Pop-Up Fantasy

By Tom Partridge

An equisitely designed three-dimensional 16th century castle for the whole family. Tom Partridge's elegantly simple design makes this book a delight to use. Readers just fold the covers back, and out pops a splendid castle setting--over a foot high, complete with dungeon, private chambers, and, of course, plenty of room for play. Full color.

Customer Reviews

explore a castle -- no batteries required

This is a wonderful value -- a fun fold-out castle, creatively designed and waiting for a lucky child to discover its many hidden surprises. Your preschool boy or girl will have hours of low-tech fun playing with the punch-out characters: king, queen, a jester, a wizard, lady, lord etc. My advice is to get this even for a little child who may tear the pieces. You can always tape or glue them together, or buy another castle, but you can't always find a fun setup for little ones that requires imagination more than batteries, allowing children to act out stories in an exciting play environment.

The Castle

My child absolutely loved this book. He asks for it every night before bed.
