Knight (DK Eyewitness Books)

Love these DK books for my classroom (5th and 6th grade gifted, math and science). They are high interest and a perfect difficulty for high ability 5th and 6th graders. ALL Eyewitness DK books are 1 AR point, and most are within the 6-9 grade level range, but a few are a touch above.I bought all these DK books used on Amazon and they have survived a few years already in my classroom library with moderately heavy use and not the greatest care from the students.I cannot recommend DK books more, as a teacher and a parent.

A beautiful and thorough exhibit on knights and knighthood. Perfect for personal review, drawing, or educating children. This is a slim book yet thorough in its treatment of period arms and armor.

Great Sale and fast ShipperJohn 3:16-17 (KJV)For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.Pray to be forgiven of your sins today.

This was just what I needed. It gave me enough info to make it sound like I knew what I was talking about in a book I'm writing.Thanks to the professional jouster in England who recommended it.

great book about Knight hood , great ilustrations and photographs , clip art cd and poster are a great add on , Highly recomend it, also The Eyewitness Medieval and Vikings are also great companion gives a complete perpective about the medieval ages .

Two bonuses I guess I overlooked in the description are a clip art CD, which has some of the pictures from the book, and a poster. The book itself is a series of pictures with descriptions organized by time period, activities, and such.

This is NOT just a book! I misunderstood and thought it seemed rather expensive for a book, but it's a whole boxed set, including the book, punch out cards to make a mini-castle....and lots more! I sent it with my son to his baby sitter, and she asked him to bring it back the next day, because SHE wasn't done looking at it!! GREAT, GREAT, GREAT!!!!

Sorry, I like giving good reviews, but I just was not too impressed with this book. It didn't have the wonderful illustrations and colors I hoped for. It displayed the same two characters over and over throughout the book and wasn't very pleasing to the eyes. But, it did surprise us with a nice poster and disc included.

This was amost informative and easy to understand book. A real gem, I would reccommend it to anyone, child or adult.

These books are great, can't fault them. My son loves adding to his collection, the pictures are detailed and the information is clear and straightforward.

v good

Reason for Reading: Ds loves the Eyewitness Books and I bought this one for him as a reward for something he accomplished. We took a break from our regular history read aloud and I read a two-page spread from this to him every "school" day.Ds loved the book! What is there *not* to love about an Eyewitness Book?! The pictures and photography are excellent; these just make for wonderful coffee table books for any ages. Ds likes swords (he has a life-size toy collection) and weaponry (before guns) and I think this inspires his interest in Knights. He sits riveted beside me while I read the text and makes sure I read every caption to every picture. He learned a lot from this book and he brought to the table his own knowledge which was expanded upon. A definite 5* rating from him. I also thought the book was well done. Since the information was all mostly pre-1550, the inescapable Christian content that accompanies this topic was for the majority unbiased and presented simply as it was in the day. For example the Crusades are given straightforwardly from the knights point of view without any modern relativism. The bias came in when discussing specifically Catholic issues, which of course, every Christian was, pre-Reformation. Some statements on the Knights Templar were simply untrue. For example the king of France's vendetta against them wasn't mentioned at all and there were other remarks, that as a Catholic, I had to stop and say this is not exactly true and explain the whole story. I take a mark off and give a rating of 4 because of this. However I do expect this, as I don't expect a mainstream publisher to present Catholic history without a bias. I also am irritated with the use of CE instead of AD, and usually just chuck books by publishers who use it as it is the first sign that historical revisionism will be in place, but as noted above I respect DK Publishing and find they publish Christian information and material quite well for the most part.

Super Buch für jedes Alter. Die Themen sind lehrreich dargestellt. Nur zu empfehlen für Groß und Klein! Ein Buch was in keinem Regal fehlen darf :)
