The Great Pyramids of Egypt--all kids over the age of five recognize them instantly. These massive tombs were built thousands of years ago, and still no one knows exactly how the ancient Egyptians did it! In this informative account, Dorothy and Thomas Hoobler tell the story of the powerful pharaohs who commissioned the pyramids at Giza and offer a fascinating look at the culture of the afterlife in ancient Egypt, explaining exactly how mummies were made. Easy to read and scrupulously researched, this explores the mysteries that have attracted countless visitors to the pyramids for centuries. Review: Great book, love Who HQ - We absolutely love the who HQ series in our household! These books provide a ton of information at a major appropriate level, which pushes the reader a bit, we have a mature eight year-old and she does occasionally need help with words, but she can understand the content very well on her own. I find these books to be historically accurate and not overly biased. Review: Great book - The book was very interesting. It talked about the pharaohs and their lifestyle and when they died there was a process of how they mummified the body. They removed all the organs except the heart they put oils to make it not decay and the organs they dried it and put them in containers. And then they put the cloth to seal the body. The pyramids were the biggest monument until the Eiffel tower was built. Many other pyramids were built there was one in Guatemala and the others in Mexico. But the ones in Egypt were built with 2 and a half ton blocks and was built with multiple people. And the pharaohs were buried in the pyramids

Great for Reading and also Reports!
Purchased this for my 8 year old who is going through an Egypt phase! She loved the book and read it without being asked! That to me is a good book! She also used it for a report which was a bonus as well, because sometimes at this age it is hard for a child to do a research paper and put fact into their own words. This book delivered the facts and concepts so that she could easily write her own paper in her own words and have some good facts to back it up.

This book really helped my 11 year old son with a project he had in Social studies. My son gathered information from this book to use for a diorama. It has photos and lots of helpful information.
