Yesterday was our library day and since we are starting Egypt next week I decided to look for some Egypt books. I didn't want just books about Egypt but some fiction, story books, as well the non-fiction. In the catalogue I found this book and it just happened to be there on the shelf so I took it home. We read through it yesterday afternoon and just loved it. This is a great book for Chapter 3 of the Story of the World where they talk about the first writing. They kids get to decipher some ancient writing. Just know that you are going to need a piece of paper and a pencil and you had better have some peanut butter and jelly handy for a snack afterward! My kids asked to read it again after we finished our sandwiches. This morning I found Sophie copying out the "Cuneiform". Very fun book!

Does anyone else know of any more good go-along books for Ancient History?

We loved King Karfu! My 10yo translated the code -- very funny! I'll send it to you if you haven't & don't want to (I wish they'd been real hieroglyphs!).
I should have a great list of book, since we just studied the same time period...but nothing is coming to mind, I think I've moved on to Ancient Greece.
Are you going to do a Top 10 Tuesday? I got Bride & Prejudice from the library but haven't watched it yet. :)
