BOOK: A Year In The Castle

A Year in the Castle by Nikola Kucharska is a detailed, wordless "look and find" fantasy picture book that follows the humorous and adventurous lives of characters in a medieval castle through the four seasons, with each month's spread revealing new stories and details like a hidden dragon, a sword-fighting princess, and a feud with neighbors. It's designed for children (ages 6-9) to engage in "I Spy" games while exploring themes like history, gender roles, and fantasy creatures, with intricate illustrations that unfold a narrative over the course of a year.
