5.0 out of 5 stars Simple introduction to hieroglyphs., August 13, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Hieroglyphs from A to Z: A Rhyming Book With Ancient Egyptian Stencils for Kids (Paperback)

I liked this book because it can be used with a wide age range of children. The introductory rhyme and ABC rhymes on each page are especially suited to younger children, while the smaller text at the bottom of the page gives more information for older children. For example, the page for 'R' says 'R is for rabbit. Make a move - off he'll go.' At the bottom of the page you find the hieroglyph for r, an explanation of the symbol, how to write 'rabbit' in hieroglyphs, and a little more information on rabbits in Ancient Egypt. The large picture of a rabbit on the page is a reproduction of either an ancient carving or painting. After the alphabet there are several pages giving information about the history of hieroglyphs and how to write with them which would be of interest to older children as well. A stencil is also included, but you could write your own hieroglyphs by referring to the chart at the back of the book. This book is useful for introducing information on hierglyphs and Ancient Egypt to children.

this is a great book on hieroglyphs for children. but if you are older and just beginning to learn this is also a great book for you. but if you have already been studing hieroglyphs this is not the book for you. but if you have children this is a book you will want to buy
