Good history introduction book. Could either learn about Egypt or Cleopatra herself. Goes into detail about her life and how she came about.

Really well-written (surprisingly). Don't be intimidated by the length of the book. It's written like a story, not a list of dry facts. Both my 6 and 7 year olds enjoyed it. I'm excited to try others in this series like Alexander the Great.
