I think the Aliki book explains the true reality of the ancient Egyptains beliefs. I am actually writing this because I was scared of the book. I wouldn’t recommend showing this to a child without telling them what to expect. The book explains about the belief involving the many gods (Osiris, Anubis, and Isis are a few) I don’t want any child to be scared of the culture, but who would know?

I bought this book for my preschooler and kindergartner as a light introduction into what my oldest would begin learning at home in first grade. Both boys loved it and it kept them pretty entertained. I will say that there is a page that describes in detail (with pictures) how the process worked which required some gentle explanation. As well as the topic of belief in multiple gods. Great illustrations and very captivating book.

I read this book to my 6th grade class, then we listened to a song written about the book. This book is easy for students to understand and has decent illustrations.
