This beautifully illustrated book shows how an Egyptian princess lived during the days of the Pharaohs. The introduction is brilliant and funny; it is written like a job description for someone seeking a position in the Royal household as an Egyptian princess. Family life including polygamy among the pharaohs is shown; clothing; jewelry; food; music; bartering system; entertainment; Gods and Goddesses; furniture and health care as well as health concerns and pets are beautifully illustrated. Readers come away with a rich knowledge about life among royalty in Egypt. This book is as delightfully rich and fertile in ideas and information as the Nile. Readers will come away with a deeper appreciation of life during the time of the pharaohs and will undoubtedly view this book as a king's (or pharaoh's) treasure.
Lots of information

I bought this book b'c it was on the second grade summer reading list of one of the top elementary boarding school in New England. There is a TON of information in this book -- maybe too much in such limited space. The pictures are detailed as well.
