I checked out the Vikings book of this series from the library when my son was in kindergarten. This was an amusing and informative way to learn about Vikings. I have since purchased Ancient Egypt, Ancient China, and Adventures in the Ice Age.
These are well-written, well-drawn books that will give my son years of enjoyment and I recommend them for any bookshelf!

I agree with the previous review that this book was similar to the Magic Treehouse series, but I think this book was even better than those. My six year old daughter and I loved this book. We planned on splitting it up over two nights of reading, but got so involved in the story that we read the whole book in one sitting! Super imformative and the story was woven well into the Ancient Egypt facts!! We read this as part of a homeschool lesson, but any kid who is interested in Ancient Egypt would be thrilled with this story!

I got this book along with several others for my first grader. We homeschool and are studying Ancient Egypt. We loved this book! This was by far my son’s favorite. It is easy to find “photos and facts” types of book on Egypt, but this one adds a bit of fiction and adventure to the mix. It is kind of like the Magic Tree House books, but in a picture book format. The book is an adventure story with factual information listed at the bottom of each page (I guess sort of like Magic School Bus type books too). I will definitely be checking out the others in this series.
