5.0 out of 5 stars Fun With Hieroglyphys, January 11, 2000

By A Customer

As a homeschooler we really enjoyed the "hands on" approach that this book with ink and stamps gave us. It was great fun and it helped us to understand the first written language a whole lot more.

5.0 out of 5 stars This is a book and a stamp pad!!!!!, June 8, 1999

By A Customer

This set was awesome. I love to read the book and then use the stampers to spell out the cool stuff I learn. All my friends at the tattoo parlor absolutely love it and they use it to make original designs for tattoos. I highly recommend it!!

3.0 out of 5 stars Not as fun as it seems, March 9, 2002

By	A. Haddad "shalizeh2" (California United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

When I first heard of this title I thought it had the complete "How To" write or read hieroglyphs, but they were only stamps. There is a small book included but not what I expected.
