Book Reviews of Medieval Castle
Book Review: Very cute but not for younger kids
Summary: 4 Stars
I got the Medieval Castle book for my almost-5-yr-old son and he LOVES the fire-breathing dragon and the working "iron" gate! The details are really incredible and there are plenty of little doors to open and hidden things to explore. It is great as a quiet activity plus there's no mess; when he's finished playing, it just folds up and stashes away until next time.
This is a product that requires a little adult supervision for the younger crowd. Even though the "paper dolls" are made of a thicker stock paper, they do still bend easily and a child of his age is prone to being a little too rough with them.
I added a customer image -- when unfolded, the two-story castle stands about 18" tall from the top of the turrets to the floor.
My only complaint is that I'm having a hard time getting it to flatten out. The creases in the floor and turrets remain bent even when the book is folded completely out and tied nice and tight. I'm subtracting one star since this means the figures won't stand in the castle without falling down. Bummer!
I got our almost-7-yr-old daughter the Victorian House book in the same series. She loves it as well and is much more gentle with it.
Overall, I'm very happy with my purchase and would recommend it for children ages 6 and up.
