Description

The ancient Egyptians thought big and built bigger, leaving behind monuments and messages that have endured for five millennia despite tomb robbers and the ravages of time. Pyramids and mummies tell us about their deaths, but new technologies are peeling the wraps off their mysterious lives. In Everything Ancient Egypt kids will discover all they want to know about the mysteries of ancient Egypt and learn new weird, wacky, and fascinating facts as well. Sections in the book include Rise of the Pharaohs, Death and the Afterlife, Life in Ancient Egypt, and Fun With Ancient Egypt (a section that provides readers with exciting hands-on learning!). Stunning photos and an interactive glossary round out this exciting and engaging new series addition.

Horn Book Review

With James P. Allen. In this volume numerous topics about ancient Egyptian life are explored. Themed sections are broken down into two-page chapters detailing one specific aspect of the culture. Multiple text boxes, sidebars, and varied illustrations and photos complete the presentation. At first glance the pages seem busy, but they remain clear and easy to read. Reading list, websites.
