good book
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
Great book...didn't realise it would be big like a picture book but at least the reading level suits my boy. Excellent book overall, especially as an example of historical fiction - lots of great facts.
my kids love this

my kids (7 and 5) could't get enough of this - probably their favourite bedtime storybook this year. The book has great pictures and the mysterious tomb robbery kept us reading avidly. Along the way we learnt more about everyday life in ancient Egypt than from any number of the usual history books for kids. The book also works as a starting point for exploring some of the features of ancient Egypt (necessarily) only briefly touched on.
ancient history as fiction- great home education

I'm doing ancient history with my first grader, starting with the Egyptians. This is giving a very nice overview of the culture, in a format that a first grader is enthralled with. It goes along well with short readings from other about Egypt types of books.
