It is a craft and educational book!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Ancient Egypt (Make It Work! History) (Paperback)
I really liked this book and it provided me with information I hadn't gotten anywhere else. The crafts are a good way for students to be active and learn. Education isn't just book reading. People need to learn to create with their head and their hands. This is a book that blends ancient civilizations with creative activities. Good work!
