Pyramids:
50 Hands-on Activities to Experience Ancient Egypt by Avery
Hart and Paul Mantell contains stories, activities, and
games for children studying ancient Egypt. The book focuses at
first on what it would have been like to be a child in ancient Egypt, a
clever way to capture the reader's attention. Craft activities and games
are interspersed throughout the book as accompaniments. In fact, the
book is so crammed full of ideas (and snappy writing) that even the most
reluctant reader (or craft-maker) will surely find something of interest
to do. Even better, the book does not contain photographs of
perfectly-made finished projects...only cartoons which help the
craft-challenged not feel incompetent. I highly recommend the lively
approach this book takes.
