I thought it was an encyclopedia when I first bought it (online). But, it turned out to be like a children book about Egypt. It's simple and filled with colorful illustrations. I love it but I want more information though, haha. I love reading about ancient Egypt mysteries and stories (being an archaeologist was one of my dream job when I was a kid) that's why I bought this book in the first place. This is a good book for children if you want your kids to start their early interest about Egypt.

Caldwell’s great-great grandfather was James Caldwell, an explorer who traveled in Egypt in 1870. She beautifully combines his journal entries with photographs of artifacts, artist renditions of the cities and people, and the stories about the pharaohs, mummies, pyramids, temples and ruins of ancient Egypt. This was a fascinating look, not too heavy on text and the illustrations were fantastic.

Awesome resource for teaching about Egypt/ Egyptian history.

My daughter, now age 8, believes she wants to become an egyptologist, largely due to this book. It is captivating for young and old alike, as the author grips you in the introduction with a tale of discovering her ancestor's field journal as well as ancient artifacts. The book does a fantastic job of giving you pages of his journal along with interesting facts about ancient Egypt. The only problem is that my daughter is never satisfied with the dot, dot, DOT of each journal page! Now i wish I had the complete journal in publication to gift to her. This is a fantastic gift for children interested in the subject.
