INTERESTING AND WELL WRITTEN - THIS IS A GOOD WORK!

What a great little book. The illustrations and actual photographs are excellent, accurate and quite fascinating. The test, whild addressing a very complex subject, holds the readers interest and actually offers knowledge of the subject being addressed. This is a great book to get children interested in ancient history. What child is not fascinated with mummies? The books is documentation in nature but due to the wonderful way it has been designed and the excellent text, the kids are actually learning something, in a fun way, without even knowning it. This is great class room reading for discussions. I found the information to be very accurate and the text matched the photographs and illustrations quite well. This author has a lot of tallent! Recommend this one highly.
