MEET THE ANCIENT EGYPTIANS

Aimed at 7-9 year olds this most snappy and exhilarating introduction to the Ancient Egyptians provides bite-sized views into a range of topics in Davies' bold and distinctive illustrated style, coupled with his naturally dry humour. The book includes a double-sided poster in a distinctive bright yellow with black and white and red line art. Themes include the Nile and life on the river, family, clothes, hair and make-up, food and drink, peculiar pets, great royal wives and fabulous pharaohs, gods and goddesses, magic and medicine, temples and priests, mummification, animal mummies, the pyramids and the great Sphinx, graverobbers and discovering Tutankhamun and Egypt today. Big, bold, we love the way the Emperor Constantine slept with his teddy and we meet the horses at the chariot races. Playful artwork, vibrant and maximum fun. 64 pages, approximately 21cm square.
