The Hawk of the Castle by Danna Smith illustrated by Bagram Ibatoulline*

The Story of Medieval Falconry
A young girl describes the life of a falconer within a medieval castle.  She assists her father as he trains the hawk to hunt food for the castle.
A beautifully illustrated book.  The reader can learn a lot about the medieval time period by simply studying the illustrations.
The main text is simple and can be read to younger children.  On each page there is a text box which explains in more detail about the page's main concept.  As a result, many different ages will enjoy this book and learn from it.
Well researched and developed.
*Highly recommend.
-Borrowed from the library.
