This is a great read-aloud for our homeschool study of ancient Egypt! The book is good, illustrations are good, and I'd highly recommend it.

A good family read aloud to learn about lives of ancient Egyptians. I appreciated author’s reminder in the last page that the story of the Great Pyramid was based on the more respectable theories.

This book is a great book for children to learn about the pyramid. I on the other hand, being an adult in college, also thoroughly enjoyed this book! There are two pages in this book that both open up to show a picture of the pyramid construction site that is 4 pages long, and it is amazing! It has little fun facts about the pyramid and its workers in various spots on the picture. I had fun reading it, and could think of a lot of fun activities for children to do after reading this book. I highly recommend this book!

The text for this was way too long for us (first grade) and I felt like we'd covered the pyramids fairly well already with some other books.

I might want to use this for middle school, but again, I found several other books which were more engaging than this. If you were REALLY into Egypt and pyramids, this might be nice though.

This was not just a dry history text as the cover might suggest, but an engaging and informative exploration of the building of pyramids and their significance to Ancient Egyptian society. My first grader loved it.
