They'll learn about the tumultuous world of knights, siege weapons and warfare, and battle tactics, as well as medieval construction methods.The second half of the book, printed on heavy cardstock, includes pop-out pieces for reconstructing a model of the castle, complete with attacking and defending armies of knights.
