Sneak Peek!
Castle! Medieval Days & Knights!
In summer 2006 Robert Sabuda and Matthew Reinhart's first book from their new imprint "Sabuda & Reinhart Presents" at Scholastic Books, "Castles! Medieval Days & Knights" will be released.
Written and paper engineered by Kyle Olmon and illustrated by Tracy Sabin, "Castle!" is an in-depth look at what life was like in the middle ages. This Sneak Peek shows the "white dummy" stage when all the pop-ups are in the prototype stage. The first spread of "Castle" has a huge castle that literally leaps off the page! "Sabuda & Reinhart Presents" will be a series of non-fiction pop-up books that educators for all backgrounds will be able to use the classroom. This enormous pop-up of everyone who lives and works in the castle certainly fits the bill!
There are also many pull-tabs in the book. This unique pop-up opens to display a full jousting scene, but when the tab is pulled the riders advance towards each other and one is knocked off his horse. After Kyle Olmon paper engineers the pop-up, illustrator Tracy Sabin steps in, creating both the black and white pencil sketches and the final color artwork.
In order to provide the most information for young readers, "Castle" has a variety of different shaped flaps with even more pop-ups inside. The small pop-up to the left of the knight is actual working catapult that can launch a paper spit wad! No pop-up book associated with Sabuda & Reinhart would be complete without something shiny and "Castle" is no exception. The large pop-up of the knight is clad from head to toe in silver armor! At the end of the book a large banquet takes place with all the guests seated at long tables piled high with food.
When the flap at the side of the banquet is opened, it automatically causes the king to "dub" the knight! This fantastic pop-up book will be released next year and we'll be sure to bring you more updates and offer it at the Gift Shop.
