My 8-year old had a class project to read a biography, chose 4 objects to represent the person in the biography, and talk about these objects to the class. Since we are Egyptian and own several ancient Egyptian replicas, we thought we'd try this book. We couldn't have been happier! Just the right amount of information for my son's age, presented in a captivating style supported by lots of diagrams. After reading the whole book alone, he asked me to read it again with him "because it is such a nice book" he said! Looking forward to getting the rest of this series!

The Tut exhibit is in town this summer and I wanted to be able to provide some information to my seven year old before we went. This book was absolutely the right amount of information for the 7-10 year old age group. We enjoyed it so much that we have purchased additional books in the series and are racing through those as well. I highly recommend the series as a great introduction to biographies!
