This provides a good overview of food and farming (as the title indicates!) But the ending felt sudden. I expected there to be more! It doesn't get into Pharoahs too much, just a little as it relates to food and farming. Definitely an important aspect of Egyptian culture and important to learn about, but other books are needed to provide a fuller picture of Ancient Egyptian life to young readers.

This book does bold glossary words, which isn't my favorite learning technique, but this felt more appropriate than most books since the bolded words are not things we have in our culture.

Worth having in my personal library.
