Gr 4-6A basic introduction to the major aspects of knighthood, including short chapters on arms and weapons, tournaments, chivalry, etc. Full-color, clear photos and stunning reproductions add to readers' understanding of the text. Neither a table of contents nor an index are included in the otherwise well-organized presentation. Each chapter has a related project or activity, such as building a model castle or a siege catapult. Directions are easy to follow and require minimal adult supervision. The lively presentation of facts will make this book popular with report writers and browsers alike. Recommend this to your young readers along with John D. Clare's Knights in Armor (Harcourt, 1992) and Geoff Dann and Chris Gravett's Knight (Knopf, 1993).Elizabeth Trotter, Scott County Public Library, Georgetown, KY (c) Copyright 2010.

Brief, scattered information on armor, tournaments, heraldry, and other topics involving knights and the medieval era is presented in adequate prose. An excerpt of a squire's diary is included, without acknowledgment of whether the material is genuine or fictional. Most appealing are the beautiful color archival reproductions and the large selection of reader activities, which include crafts, games, and recipes from the era.

Kirkus评论
Anyone who's ever dreamed of jousting on horseback will want a peek at this fun history of knights. Benefiting from an interactive approach, the text not only traces the career path a noble-born boy pursued to become a knight--first serving as a page, then advancing to squire, and finally earning that literal tap on the shoulder from another knight, or even the king--but also shows through detailed instruction how to construct a castle, helmet, sword, shield, catapult, etc., from foil board and other inexpensive materials. Eye-catching layouts, complete with numerous full-color photographs and period illustrations, keep readers involved, as does Gravett's inclusion of such amusing tidbits as how to behave during a medieval feast (don't throw the bones back in the serving bowl) and the recipe for a knightly dessert. Also discussed are tournaments, the code of chivalry, and the Crusades, after which the book abruptly ends; readers will only wish that it were longer. (Nonfiction. 6-9)
