"Great for reluctant readers."--School Library Journal.
"Other than World War II, the Knights seem to be very popular for independent AR reading!" according to Roderic Rinehart. 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.. Interest your children in REAL history A Customer DK eyewitness books are some of the greatest non-fiction books around. The distinctive white background and high-quality photography gives this book an edge over any other nonfiction picture book. And -- these pictures are real! They're beautiful museum-quality photos of all things related to knights, accompanied by informative captions and text.Learn about medieval life, knights, armor, etc. If you know someone (young or old) who is fascinated by medieval times and knights, then you must introduce them to this book!. For grown-ups AND kids alike A Customer I own several books from the Eyewitness Series and I am imprssed with them all. Why weren't these used as textbooks when I was in elementary school :)The pictures are quite vivid and there is so much content inside the book. You WILL come away with a greater knowledge and better appreciation of history of knighthood!
