Present for my seven-year-old

Reviewed in the United States on January 17, 2024

Maybe this was a premature gift for a little girl, her age but she has a huge interest in the Egyptian pantheon as she loves Thoth and Anubis. Because the words are a bit too old for her I do have to read her the stories, but she seems to be pretty interested and I’m sure as she goes older she will grow even more interested in this. If your child isn’t specifically interested in this subject, I would wait till they’re about 10 years old before purchasing.

SPED Scaffolding!

Reviewed in the United States on June 29, 2022

Verified Purchase

This book is perfect for breaking down individual stories in Egyptian mythology. It allows students to access the learning by having it scaffolded in a way that allows them bite-size chunks of stories (knowledge). Each story is a stepping stone through a new world that they have no previous knowledge of, ergo, students can learn about a new land/place/time one step at a time and not feel overwhelmed by thousands of years of cultural information. Thank you... :)

My 8 year old loves this book and I do too! Informative and well written and the beautiful illustrations really bring it to life. Excellent choice for kids (or adults!) interested in learning more about gods and goddesses of ancient Egypt.

Colorful, Showy Pictures And Easily-Read Text For Small Kids.

Reviewed in the United States on March 22, 2023

Verified Purchase

The pictures are attention-grabbing but the Egyptian gods of antiquity each 'protected' too many things. I think a child might ignore the overlap but adults could find it confusing. This reviewer is old. As a small kid I believe that pictures of Disney characters would have been more attracting for me.

In the old days teaching a young child about many gods might have been a No-No. However in this day and age I doubt that it makes any difference to parents who are monotheistic--if any still exist.

Interesting and accessible introduction to Egyptian mythology for primary school aged kids

Reviewed in the United States on January 2, 2021

Verified Purchase

My daughter loves this book. She is 7 years old and is able to read the book independently. I try to read it with her once in a while to discuss it. The author has done a fantastic job of making Egyptian mythology accessible and interesting for elementary school aged children. At the end of each chapter there are great short write ups with photographic examples of the one of the topics discussed, such as the pyramids at Giza.

Great companion to The Kane Chronicles

Just what I wanted to go along with reading The Red Pyramid with my 8 year old. Each god/goddess has a large picture, a brief summary, and a couple of pages. Nothing too in-depth, but a great way to flush out the characters a little more.

My tween keeps this book by his bed and thumbs through it frequently. It's informative and a great vocabulary-builder. It also opens the door to more reading as he follows his interest. Great investment! I wish it came in hardback.

great source of Egyptian gods

Reviewed in Canada on January 17, 2021

Bought for my 6 year old daughter who is really into Egyptian myth and gods recently. She loves the book & it doesn't feel childish.

Approximately at 5th grade reading level. It's detailed, well written and colourfully illustrated.

Mucho más completo de lo que puede parecer a primera vista

Reviewed in Spain on June 15, 2022

Verified Purchase

Como a la mayoría, lo que más me llamó la atención de este libro fueron las ilustraciones, que desde luego son preciosas, pero me ha sorprendido gratamente la cantidad de información que contienen los capítulos dedicados a cada dios. Aunque se trate de un libro para niños, lo cierto es que puede utilizarse perfectamente como manual rápido de mitología egipcia, ya que trata los principales mitos con rigor y ofrece una visión general de las creencias religiosas del Antiguo Egipto de lo más accesible.

Una pequeña maravilla. Cierto que el papel podría ser de un gramaje superior, pero este detalle ni por asomo le resta puntos. Disfrutable al máximo.

Beautiful illustrations

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on April 22, 2021

Verified Purchase

The illustrations in this book is what made me want to buy it, they're so beautiful and make the Egyptian gods appear properly cosmic. I also like that they weren't made in a fake Egyptian style, which again makes them look timeless.

The stories are well written, simple and to the point (it is for kids after all), but with quite a lot of depth in there. You can see that they were written by someone that knows and loves Egyptian history and mythology.

As with all mythologies at times they can be confusing and strange (like some divinities are siblings and also married, sometimes even son and husband), but that's mythology for you. They're not supposed to be normal humans, and I'm glad the writer didn't rewrite those "weird" bits.

And by the way, I didn't buy the book for kids, and bought it for myself, and I love it :)

Terrible. Poorly written in general and definitely not for kids! Don't buy.

Reviewed in Canada on February 23, 2021

Verified Purchase

First of all this was not written for kids. I am an Egypt buff myself and bought this book for my 7-year-old who is crazy about the subject too. I hoped this would be on a child's level so that she can read herself or if I were to read it with her, there would not require efforts of interpretation like with my other books... big mistake! I had to read a paragraph myself several times then think of how to explain it to the child. Most of the content is utterly confusing and unorganized properly, jumps all over the place.
Also the vocabulary used here is not for kids; try to explain the child what is "coconspirators" for example.
Coco-what?
There was a fiction short story attempts a few time in the book but then as if the author did not know how to go about it, she hectically switched to non-fiction style of listing random facts. Very disappointing and even frustrating.
Another disappointment big time is that the author did not think what effect some information might have on a child's mind. The Hathor's chapter, for example, opens with a Hathor getting ready for her wedding to Horus. The opening is written in fiction style but before the wedding ceremony begins the story ends abruptly with some complicated geographical detail that none cared about at this point and immediately goes into driest tone form of listing facts on the goddess....one of which states that Hathor breastfed Horus when he was a child. My daughter was in a state of a shock which followed by disgusts, "so Hathor was Horus' mommy?" How do you get this image off the child's head if you just read it aloud to her, unknowingly! How do you undo the damage now?! One might think the children writer would filter her content for the audience but no, there was no effort. Why ruin a seemingly romantic wedding story for a little girl ???
