About This Book
A parent might reach for this book when their child develops a sudden, intense curiosity about ancient Egypt, perhaps after a school lesson or a museum visit. This book is not a dry textbook but a clever and engaging "visitor's guide" that transports the reader back in time. It covers everything a time-traveler would need to know: how to greet a pharaoh, what to see at a temple, the secrets of mummification, and the basics of hieroglyphs. By framing history as an adventure, it feeds a child's natural wonder and makes learning feel like play. It's perfect for fact-loving kids who enjoy diving deep into a single topic in a fun, visual, and accessible way.
What Parents Should Know
Sensitive Topics
The book deals directly with death through its focus on mummification and Egyptian beliefs about the afterlife. The approach is entirely secular and historical. The process of preparing a body for burial, including the removal of organs, is described factually and without gratuitous detail. It is presented as a fascinating cultural practice, not as something sad, scary, or tragic.
