Pure fun, whether you are a child or a child at heart.

This handy book not only discusses the Egyptian writing system and the role of hieroglyphs in Egypt,but includes a handy stencil set of the hieroglyph alphabet with a chart defining the single sounds each represents so that kids can create their own hieroglyphic messages.
