Product Description: What were pyramids for? Why are they so big? How were mummies made? Why did the Egyptians write on walls? These are the kinds of questions you'll find asked and answered in this exciting book. Packed full of fun and facts about everyday life in Ancient Egypt, this is the sort of book you dip into to find out about one thing...and end up reading from cover to cover! 8 x 9 1/2 inches. 32 pages.
Another Quality Book from Usborne In typical Usborne fashion this book covers the building of the Egyptian pyramids with a thourough body of facts and intricate illustrations for children. The reading level is around fourth grade and up but it would be a great read-aloud for second to third graders as well. I also like the fact that, as noted on the back of the book, the paper is made from trees grown in a "sustainable forest" setting a good example for our kids.
