Fantastic approach to introducing science facts in small units that are easy to read and understand. Love the whole series. Note: If looking to buy more than one book, note that they are now being produced in two sizes...
Realistic illustrations and clear text not only explain the pyramids and embalmment, but also show people going about their everyday lives.
Our grandson who is 6 really likes the book and now he can read it himself.Good price too; go for it.
Thsi was agreat book, it told about the Egyotian people of the early years of civilization lived their lives. It will give you facts like why the Egyptians shoes wore out and how they built their graves. This is a great book if you are interested about the Egypian style of life.
