Knights Kingdom lever 4 The grand Tournament (Knights' Kingdom Reader)

A very condensed version of the 2004 story, written for children, starting after King Mathias' rescue, through the quest for the Heart of the Shield, until Vladek's defeat in the grand tournament. Unlike the final three books, the first three, of which this is the second, offer new art not seen in the instruction booklets or webcomics. In terms of story, there's not much new to offer here, but considering the dialogue for the webcomics has been lost to the ages, no pun intended, this can offer a bit of insight into the finer details for any fans emerging since the line's cancellation 11 years ago. That being said, I'm not sure how that would happen.I can't see what this can offer new fans nowadays, if there are any, so all this can really serve as is a childish, cringey nostalgia trip that lasts about 15 minutes.

This book provides the second half of the adventure begun in "Search for the King". If you're just starting out with Knight's Kingdom books (and toys, of course!), these two books are the ones to start with.The style of writing is stiff, but seems appropriate for the subject matter. My kindergartner isn't yet able to read these books on his own, but loves to hear them read to him. He has all the Lego toys that are part of the Knight's Kingdom series too. Very fun for young boys.

A gift for our grandson.

I read this book aloud to my tween sons who are Lego fans. The story was not babyish. The main flaw was that the first chapter was kind of confusing. The book seemed to assume that readers would be familiar with the characters and other aspects of Knights' Kingdom.The book is illustrated with drawings on each two-page spread. The cover art is not representative of the art inside the book (which are much simpler).Of the Lego Readers, we enjoyed "Mission to the Arctic" better. FYI: The arctic book is DK "Level 3 Reading Alone", while The Grand Tournament is Scholastic Reader Level 4 "First chapter books for advanced beginners".

I am reading the Knight Kingdom book series to my son (5 years old). He loves the characters. The stories are a good balance between simple text and good story.

Beautiful book, unfortunately with a few images. History is not too long, also suitable for children. Recommended for Lego Castle fans
