This book is a best of the best selection. Not only does it provide information on King Tut's life in ancient times, it also explains how locations of ancient tombs became exploited/ raided or lost in time.

Funny note: we were reading this book together and she was squirming. I told her, "Sit still, this is school." She replied, "THIS is school?! I didn't know this was school!"

This was a really informative book and my son and I really enjoyed reading it together. I would definately recomend this title. It is for children that are soon ready for chapter books.

Good story about the discovery of King Tut's tomb. We read it twice and surprisingly it wasn't too dry.

One of my sons absolutely loved this. The other hated it. I thought it had interesting information, but the writing was a little choppy. It's meant for beginning readers so it doesn't really flow.
The illustrations are done in soft, muted tones and each page has several sentences without being overwhelming.
I'll probably have them read it again when we study Egypt again. Or not. We'll see.
