Cleopatra: The Last Great Queen of Egypt is an engaging look at one of history’s most legendary women. Told in a way that’s both accessible and empowering for kids, this book doesn’t just cover Cleopatra’s reign—it brings her childhood, challenges, and courage to life in a story that’s part biography, part adventure. I especially appreciated how it balanced real historical detail with inspiring messages about leadership and resilience. It was refreshing to read a kids’ book that felt both smart and exciting, and I can totally see young readers getting hooked on history after this.

Cleopatra wasn’t just a queen—she was a boss! 👑 This book had me cheering from the pyramids, y’all. From palace halls to Roman drama, it’s packed with sass, smarts, and girl power! I loved how it made Cleopatra feel real, like someone I’d want to be friends with (or at least follow on Insta if she had one 😂). The fun facts, timelines, and glossary at the end are like bonus treasure. I’d say this is history with a sparkle—and totally worth your kid’s bookshelf space. 🚀📘
