From School Library Journal
Grade 5-8--Clever paper engineering, interesting photographs, and short paragraphs all work together to create an engaging book. Each of the seven spreads features a striking pop-up surrounded by supporting information. For example, the first pages detail how Egypt's civilization grew up on the banks of the Nile River. The accompanying pop-up of a boat is eye-catching and informative. The rest of the book follows suit with major topics such as the pyramids, pharaohs, fine art and crafts, temples and gods, and mummies all included. The writing is straightforward with little speculation and no anecdotal additions. The graphics are an artful mélange of photographs of artifacts and gorgeous color drawings that effectively work together. A number of flaps open to maps and smaller pop-ups. The only drawback is that an occasional pop-up blocks some of the text, forcing readers to move the book around to get better views. While some librarians may be reluctant to include this title in a circulating collection, it would make a great addition to reference or browsing shelves and classroom collections. Milton Meltzer's In the Days of the Pharaohs (Watts, 2001) and Romano Solbiati's Ancient Egypt (Raintree, 2001) offer more in-depth information but don't have the graphic, hands-on appeal of this title. A strong contender for libraries needing additional material on the topic.--Jody Kopple, Shady Hill School, Cambridge, MA
