what's inside.
The story.
Jack, Zack, and Caspar build a castle fort and spend the day battling imaginary dragons and beasts. But as evening falls and "giants" (their parents) carry away his friends one by one, King Jack must face the night creatures alone - until he's scooped up and carried home to bed too.
