Lovely book for reluctant readers
My [...]son was learning about castles at school so I wanted to have a book which gave some back up to school but in a relaxed manor. The pictures are brightly coloured and nicely drawn for young children. The text and the story were quite simple but they got the main points across effectively. This book did catch the interest of my son who is not a "book" person. I would recommend this book.

Informative and interesting
'In the Castle' is a lovely book for young children. Clear bright pictures with a simple informative explanation of life in and around a castle. My three-year-old tear-away grandson loves this series of books and loves the Benji Davies illustrations. Lots of interesting things to look at and discuss. He similarly loves 'On the Moon' and 'On a Pirate Ship'. All the books in this series have solid, padded, hard covers and quality thick pages inside. We initially borrowed the books from the Library, but he loved these three titles so much I bought them. Bargain prices from Amazon and free postage to boot. Delivered within two days of the order being placed.
