1. Build one book at a time, following its own instruction steps.
2. Fold each finished book closed to check the mechanism works.
3. Open them all out into their scenes.
4. Join the four books side by side to form the connected castle.

• Following long instruction sequences to a precise result
• Understanding a folding mechanism — how parts move and clear each other
• Patience across a build measured in hours, not minutes
• Storytelling, once the rooms are open and populated

• Build one book per sitting rather than attempting the set at once
• Keep them closed on a shelf and open one at a time to play
• Invent a lesson taking place in each room
