Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

Grade 3-5 Each of these picture books begins with a modern child who travels back in time to learn a few facts about an ancient culture. Three pages of historical background follow the stories. In Nefertari, Anna follows a cat into the tomb of an Egyptian princess who tells the girl about some of the Egyptian gods and goddesses. In Vulca, Robbie and his dog meet an ancient Etruscan near the Necropolis. The format of the stories and the colorful cartoon illustrations will appeal to younger children than those for whom the cultural and historic backgrounds are intended. Information is slight, and the narratives are mildly amusing, though somewhat stilted. Reluctant readers may be drawn to them, but for a more informative and creative approach, try Scott Steedman's The Egyptian News (Candlewick, 1997). Cynthia M. Sturgis, Ledding Library, Milwaukee, OR

From Kirkus Reviews

In this entry in the Journey Through Time series, Robbie accidentally kicks his ball through a doorway in the ruins of an Etruscan necropolis; he enters and finds that the ball has become part of a fresco. When Robbie plays a pipe he has found, one of the characters in the painting, Vulca, comes to life and shows Robbie around. When, in another tomb, the ball again becomes part of a painting, Robbie decides to leave it there to surprise other visitors. The book concludes with three pages of information about the Etruscans. The story about Robbie and Vulca is modestly entertaining, with humorous pictures that help make the information accessible. Unfortunately, the reading level of the nonfiction section is well above that of the main story, and feels out of place and tacked on. (Picture book. 5-9) -- Copyright ©1999, Kirkus Associates, LP.
