This is a very good book for children. It contains a lot of great information about Ancient Egypt. I read another review by a reader who was offended by the thought that the Pyramids weren't built by slaves. This was obviously a surprise to him but I had heard it elsewhere so it was no news to me. There were slaves in Egypt and I'm sure they were badly used in other jobs. They could have also been used to help build the pyramids, I doubt we will ever know exactly. This is a good book and no reader should pass it up over one shocked review. There's plenty of good information here and it is very interesting.

This book is great for all ages.This 119 page book is filled with lots of information from everyday life to egyptian religion. this book talks about the pyramids, funerals,and the most famous mummy of all king Tutankhamun better known as king Tut. If you have children you should buy this book.

jack and Annie made a guide about their research on mummies and pyramids. I leared girls & boys in anincent egipt wore their hair in a ponytail called sidelocks. when people were making a mummy.they didn't know what a mummy's brain was for....so they took it out and got rid of it!gross! I can wait to get MAGIC TREE HOUSE research guide#4 PIRATES.

This book provides a lot of information about ancient Egypt. For example, I learned how ancient Egyptians lived and what they did in their everyday life. The book has a solid chapter about ancient Egyptian art. I was surprised at how many different types of art there were. Ancient Egyptians painted, weaved and made pots, statues and jars out of clay. They also made jewelry and large pots out of gold. I also learned about their burial chambers in the pyramids. They put paintings and all of their belongings in the tombs for use in their after lives. The pyramids are made of big stone blocks. Workers would move the heavy stone blocks into the shape of a pyramid. The book describes how the ancient Egyptians also built large ships and small canoes to go down the Nile River. This book is an interesting introduction to ancient Egypt. I would recommend this book to anyone who wants to learn about ancient Egypt and the pyramids.

This book was really fun! What I learned from this book is about the tomb robbers. And that Egypt is in Africa.

this has a lot of pages but that does not stop me from reading it. my best book writer is mary pope osborne and her 3 dogs. these are my best in show everyone!

Great affordable, educational, engaging book introducing mummies, pyramids, and Egypt. What a nice way to present information for inquisitive children.

My daughter was very interested in learning about mummies last summer and recently in her class they were/are looking at the history of the world through artifacts. The teacher has commented on how she knows a lot about Egypt and its history. I asked my daughter where she got her knowledge and she pulled this book out, along with a couple others, also on Egypt, that we had bought last summer. The information obviously made an impression.

Wonderful

My 6 year-old daughter LOVES this book! It is her favorite of all the Non fiction magic treehouse books. This collection is so great for introducing history, social sciences and science to young readers.

This is one of many books in the series and my daughter absolutely loves these books. As soon as she got it she couldn't put it down until she finished the book.
