Pleasant and informative children’s introduction to ancient Egypt.

well, menarik sekali karena pada dasarnya aku sangat suka sekali cerita sejarah zaman baheulak alias sejarah-sejarah kuno (khususnya mesir, yunani, dkk), apalagi ditambah dengan ilustrasi gambar plus glossary...serasa terbang kembali ke beberapa ribu tahun lampau ...huhuhu
