Customer Reviews

Packed with Information

This book is written in a very informative manner. There is tons of information on each page both in the body of the text as well as on the side margins. The book's format is to ask questions and then answer them on the following page. Some of the illustrations are vivid and somewhat silly to appeal to younger readers. I enjoyed reading it to my young son because we were able to "discover" together. There were a lot of facts that I didn't know and this book helped make the information easier to understand. I would recommend this to a friend.

Perfect book for young kids.

My daughter is 5yrs old and enjoys egypt things right now. We are trying to find anything to keep her interest going. This book is perfect for little ones. The illustrations are colorful to keep the little ones interest peaked and not get bored fast and written so they can understand and still learn!

Great book for the curious kid!!

My daughter really wanted to dive into the whole egyptian thing. After going to the library and borrowing not so kid friendly books this was refreshing. Easy to read and fun facts.

Great for students

My students love this book. It gives them fun facts about Ancient Egypt in a way that is easy to understand. The students love looking at the pictures which draws them in to reading the text.
