Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

Grade 4–6—The fascinating text in this collection of 30 projects is supplemented by sepia-colored illustrations or photos on each page. The "Timeline of Ancient Egypt's History" lists nine periods from the early dynastic years to Greek and Roman Egypt, with each entry briefly described. A simple, clearly labeled map of Lower Egypt and Upper Egypt precedes the introduction. The projects are tied to many aspects of this civilization, including the Nile River, agriculture, craftsmanship, pyramids, mummies, family, farming, bartering, the Egyptian calendar, Royal Library of Alexandria, temples, hieroglyphs, and more. Areas of boxed text throughout give additional information on such topics as obelisks, the legend of Osiris, etc. The ideas will be useful for school projects or individual crafting fun. A few require adult assistance, such as when using spray paint, plaster of Paris, an oven, a saw, or a sharp knife. Children can immerse themselves in ancient Egypt by making a papyrus boat, berry ink, a tunic, sandals, perfume, a pyramid, a cartouche, and much more. Back matter includes a glossary of 122 words and resources (13 books and periodicals and l5 Web sites). This title will be a useful and popular addition to any collection, along with Avery Hart and Paul Mantell's Pyramids!: 50 Hands-On Activities to Experience Ancient Egypt (Williamson, 1997) and Nancy Fister and Charlene Olexiewicz's Make History: Ancient Egypt (McGraw-Hill, 1999).—Augusta R. Malvagno, Queens Borough Public Library, NY

    Loving this book for our homeschoolers egypt unit! Lots of great information and the kids (10, 10,12, 12, 12) are really enjoying all the great projects! Just what we needed to bring our unit to the next level and keep the kids interested and involved. So far the projects have been pretty inexpensive or we have alot of the materials already on hand.

    I will definitely use this in the future, but the one thing that makes it a 4 instead of a 5 is no images do go along with the building of things.
