Pharaohs and Pyramids (Time Traveler Series)

I would recommend also looking at the compiliation called "Time Traveler" which includes all the four books: Pharoahs and Pyramids, Rome and Romans, Viking Raiders and Knights and Castles.Overall the Usborne books contain fairly detailed drawings and provide overhead views and maps. For instance a typical Viking eating hall, will have captions that points out who the people are, what food is cooked and how.The narrative line of the Time Traveler is burdensome. A character goes back in time!! Whoo-hoo. But you can ignore it easy enough. In the Pharoh book I lost track of who was related to who and what they did in that family. I just skip a lot of these more nuanced particulars as I am reading the book to a 4 year old. That said I and my son have enjoyed them and learned.

Very suitable for children with an interest in history.

recommend this book

Bought for a 4-year old, who has enjoyed it but will get much more out of it when he is 6/7 years old
