Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

Grade 5-8AIt's fairly easy to locate good books on ancient Egypt. However, while this text touches on mummies, hieroglyphics, and pyramids, it also covers the history from the pharaohs through the country's present-day leadership in the Middle East. It has standard information about the modern nation's geography, economy, agriculture, religious groups, and education. It also features discussion of topics such as the branches of Egypt's government, national holidays, and wildlife. Average-to-good quality full-color photographs and reproductions are in abundant supply. Maps, charts, and multimedia resources to consult for more information are also included. A much-needed, up-to-date resource.ACathryn A. Camper, Minneapolis Public Library

Review

"Completely redesigned and rewritten, these volumes in the Enchantment of the World series do more than give the popular series a facelift. Enticing covers provide a preview of the books' fine design, which includes numerous drawings, charts, maps, and photographs." --This text refers to an alternate Library Binding edition.
