Discover Ancient Egypt by Amanda Trane is a delightful early readers book. With simple language, and big glossy pictures, ancient Egypt comes to life for young readers. It discusses the pyramids, statuary and sculptures, and some deities, like Anubis and Bast. While it doesn't go into detail, this book doesn't shrink away from discussing mummies either. This is a great book for any child with a growing interest in history. My younger cubs absolutely loved it!

This is another book in the Discover Series published by Xist. They are multiple authors and subjects. It is a non-fiction early reader book about Egypt. The pictures are large and simple, not a lot of extra detail unless it aids in the text. Simple facts are stated in simple language. A good book for early readers, especially those who are interested in ancient lands, mummies etc.. It is nice to see non-fiction books in this reading range. A good addition to school, family and class libraries.

With text explaining a photo, or a photo helping the text, this book expounds the latest theory on how the pyramids were built, then talks about mummies and sphinxes. It’s really simple, which makes it perfect for the age level it targets. I remember getting into Egyptology as a teen, but it would have come sooner if there’d been a book like this around.

I always enjoy history. “Discover Ancient Egypt” reminded me how interesting I found the subject. I need to go back and reread about it! Anyway, I loved how the writing was appropriate for the reading level it was aimed at, and I learned a few things myself!

Are you looking at getting your kids more involved with history? Want them to learn and not be overwhelmed with all the information? GRAB THIS BOOK! It is a great way to get started, and give kids some of the basics of the subject, which will allow them to look deeper into the areas that they are interested in.
A quick overview, but highly sufficient to get a young mind working! Photo's and drawings are clear, and fun to look at.

This is a great early reader title. It highlights important images and text that showcase Egyptian history and culture. The images were very good and supportive of the text, which is important for the target audience.

My son's current school topic is Egypt so this was perfect to read. He thoroughly enjoyed it.
