Egyptology

Fictional but Superbly done Only returned because I got two copies for xmass

This book is like the others of its type, meaning its perfect for kids who want to dig deeper into a subject or learn a random collection of information related to a particular subject. It is written in a kid-friendly way, aimed at pre-teen or teen reading and understanding level. These books are especially cool because they have pockets with removable bits, such as cards with additional information or bits of cloth that are examples of some detail that page talks about. The one about Greek and Roman mythology is also very cool. They don't dig deep into the history or facts in terms of learning them for academics, but they are excellent support material that can either help the subject to be more fun for the kid or extra material if the kid is particularly interested in the subject.

Beautifully done. Educational. Great addition to the series. Will buy the others.

My 5 year old (obsessed with King Tut) was absolutely fascinated and ended up falling asleep with this book in his arms the night he got it. Packed full of so much useful and amazing facts, anyone with a passion for egyptology could never regret spending the money on such a beautiful piece of literature. Fascinating.

What an awesome book. My second grader read it at school and asked if we could pick it up - so we did - because you can't argue logic with a feral eight year old. He loves it. Chock full of Egyptian history - which only goes to further his enjoyment of Raiders of the Lost Ark.

This is an absolutely wonderful and amazing book. Great for a gift, kids and adults.

The book is pretty cool other than the fact that it’s very obviously damaged and not new. There’s a dent on the front cover, one of the envelopes is taped and it looks like someone tried to dig out the jewel on the inside of the back cover. Very disappointing because the book wasn’t sold as “used” or “damaged”. Returning immediately and hopefully the next book will be in excellent condition.

I have always love to read books about ancient Egypt.

Our daughter loves Ancient Egypt and so we bought this for her as a Christmas present. It’s incredible. The level of detail is brilliant and it caters for many different learning styles. She’s still quite young for it (8yo) and so dips in and out of it at the moment, but I do feel this is something that will grow with her and grab her interest even more when she’s older. The quality of the artwork and included elements is outstanding.

A beautiful book.Many interesting additions on most pages.

Perfect quality, amazing to read even for grownups

Pues es un libro en inglés que compré para mi sobrino. Lo vi en el British Museum cuando lo visité hace unas semanas y ya quise regalárselo. Lo compré al final por Amazon y la verdad es que el libro es super didáctico; enseña muy bien y con muchísimos detalles todo lo relacionado con Egipto, las momias, las pirámides y todo el misterio de las creencias egipcias. Viene con pequeños desplegables para ir descubriendo los tesoros de egipto poco a poco, así como partes con las que interactuar como un juego de mesa que se jugaba en aquella época, una carta como si fueras un explorador, y demás partes que hacen que el libro sea una pequeña maravilla a un precio muy bueno. Mi sobrino se lo lleva a todos los sitios para enseñarlo: al cole, a la familia, a los amigos... Tiene 6 años y es una buena edad para que aprecien estas cosas. En mi caso el que el libro sea en inglés no es un problema porque es bilingüe y aunque hay conceptos algo complicados lo entiende muy bien. Muy recomendable. Compraré más si hay temáticas que me interesen.

A lovely and lavish production
