Little Explorers: Scottish Castles (Push, Pull and Slide), Hardcover

Lay siege to Stirling Castle, spot Nessie hiding at Urquhart Castle, have a feast with Mary Queen of Scots and escape Edinburgh Castle's dungeons

This book introduces little explorers to Scotland's history through its most famous castles. Moving parts let them pull up a portcullis, lower a drawbridge, tunnel out of the dungeons, blow up a tower and set off an amazing firework display.

Each page is inspired by a real Scottish castle and the bright and exciting illustrations are packed full of historical detail helping young children to learn as they play.

An ideal gift for children with Scottish families, this large board book is chunky but lightweight with sturdy moving parts that are just the right size for little hands.
