DK Eyewitness Books: Ancient Egypt: Explore the Nile Valley Civilizations—from Colossal Temples Paperback – June 16, 2014

This is a great book to add to your library. The information and presentation is clear, well organized, and captivating. Wonderful photographs on every page, with good, thoughtful, easily understood, but not too dense explanations. We bought this and the Eyewitness Mummy book for a paper my 6th grader was researching. We continuously used these books as our main sources, and he got an A plus! My seven year old daughter loves to look through the books a well. We also have Ancient Rome, and Ancient Greece. This is a fabulous series. The CD Rom that comes with it is just photographs that are in the books... would be better if it was an educational video.. that was the only disappointment. The books also come with full size posters with "bite-size" information -- this was useful as we did our note taking and editing.

I purchased this book for my 3 1/2 year old son who for some reason loves the subject matter of ancient Egypt. This book is very sturdy for his little fingers. It also has excellent information that is easy to understand. The pictures are fantastic and he pours over them in his room, at Church, at Grandmas, at restaurants...you get the point. The book also came with a fold out poster and a clip art disc. The disc doesn't have a lot of information on it, but it is a good starting point to foster future interest.I will purchase this book as a gift for anyone (any age) interested in starting research in Ancient Egypt.Also other titles in this series are just as outstanding.

My 4 year old became interested in Ancient Egypt and I found this book. It gave just enough information on many topics to satisfy her questions and give a good overview. She loves the photos of the artifacts and has didn't hours looking through the book.

My toddler is obsessed with ancient Egypt. I liked that it had the least amount of references to mummification and canonic hard while still being super super informative. Great pictures but there is a real mummy in the book fyi

This was the perfect gift for my 11-year-old son. He loves the DK Eyewitness books. This Book was his favorite from our local library, so I thought he might like his own copy. These are age appropriate books for middle-schoolers.

I love the DK books for my 5th/6th grade gifted classroom. I have about 60 of them and they are excellent nonfiction books. Most have AR levels from about 6.0-9.0 and have 1 AR point.Fabulous pictures, great information in such a succinct book, and the kids love them.

My 6 year old son loves these books - they are really fun for kids (and grown ups!). The pictures are lovely and high quality, and there is a ton of information in them. Highly recommend.

Eyewitness guides were still,continuing to bring to,readers, books that had visually stunning intricate photos of priceless,jewels that,were still rich in glimmer,and,beautifully decorative in design of it,s artefacts,that,still,continues to,this day,without ageing at all in appearance something that only,archaologists or egyptee devotees,can't wait to find out in all about for it,s popular imagination in lengthy,stories and art.Which of course still,continues now,to be a, serious collectable gift,for anyone,needing to finding out,about ancient egypt's historic thrilling,neverending,past!

One word: AWESOME!

Ok

A volume well in the EyeWitness standards. Worth the price!

Some small defects but nothing that you wouldn't also see in a book store
