Where’s Dragon in His Castle?: A Search and Find Back in Time

About this book

Meet Blaze the Dragon, the proud and majestic guardian of Dragon Castle!

Follow as he takes you on a guided tour of the castle and its grounds. Along the way, readers can expect to learn lots about the medieval period, as well as helping Blaze to recover his lost possessions and spot his many busy friends.

Blaze’s castle is brimming with activity, and readers will enjoy poring over the detailed illustrations as they complete the search-and-find challenges. 

There are 12 double-page scenes to explore, with sections on castle building, defences, hunting, kitchens, jousting, feasting, and more. Look out for lords, ladies, knights, squires, and even a wizard hidden in the pictures. 

Each of the scenes includes a brief description with some interesting historical facts and three to four captions which highlight key features of the illustrations. The information is well-pitched and covers some fascinating topics while remaining brief and punchy. 

This is a great combination of medieval history - author David MacPhail is a real castle steward - and wonderful illustration. The searching, interactive element carries the book’s momentum forward and will keep readers engaged as they learn about life in the Middle Ages.
