Summary:
This fascinating nonfiction book describes the construction of an imaginary castle in medieval France. The illustrations are black and white and very detailed. The book ends with a glossary.
Teaching Ideas:
This book fits logically into a study of the Middle Ages or of architecture and tools. Students may want to study it before visiting a cathedral on a field trip. They may want to write journal entries about their own church architecture or their own experiences in building something. Teachers could incorporate math, art, and vocabulary study with this text, or they may choose to look at other excellent books written and illustrated by Macaulay.
