very interesting

Thoughtful and educational. Great library book. Great illustrations and a thoughtful possibility of how it could have came to be. My daughter -6 y.o. really enjoyed it.

Great for 6th Graders!

I teach about Egypt in 6th grade social studies. This book is right at their level for a read aloud. It teaches them about relationships in the social structure while providing beautiful illustrations. There are lots of advanced vocabulary words. This is definately not a book that is intended for younger readers. It truly defines that picture books are for older readers too.
