Egyptian Gods and Goddesses (Penguin Young Readers, Level 4)

I'm a Devotee of Susan Wise Bauer and my kindergartner has a huge thirst for history due in no small part to Bauer's books: The Well Trained Mind, and The Story Of The World. My 6 year old has been on fire for Egyptology for about two years now. She asked specifically for more books about Egypt and I was pleased to find this as she is able to read it herself. This is the sort of book that will lead your child to ask many questions, but that means your kid is thinking! Be bold! Pass up the potato chip brain food and introduce your small children to history and science and art and math. You will be amazed and delighted by the pleasure they find in it when you make it regularly available to them.

The book arrived in good condition but I expected more information based on it's description. I thought it would be good for homeschooling. It's more of a beginner's reading book.

I like it

While there are a lot of sight-words in this book, it is very accessible for novice readers. I got this book alone with easy readers on the Nile and King Tut for a unit we did on Egypt. It could also be useful for a unit on ancient mythology (when paired with books on Ancient Roman and Greek myths).

Great learning tool for school age students

I bought this for my 1st and 3rd grader. It was very simplistic which is fine for a K-1 but the concept is a little abstract for a K-1. It was fine but I passed it on as soon as we finished it.

This book is great for kids. It has a lot of the basic info on the gods. if they want more details do not get this but for some one just starting to get into Egyptian Mythology this is a great start

I bought this book for my daughter who is studying Ancient Egypt, and is fascinated with their mythology. Unfortunately, this book is far too simplistic for a "Level 4" reader, and talks more about burial traditions than about the stories of their gods. There were over 1,000 Egyptian gods ... this book names 8, and goes into minimal (if any) detail about them. At the end, the book actually takes time to reassure us that modern Egyptians don't actually worship these gods anymore and that now most Egyptians are Muslims who worship Allah. I have no idea why that was necessary. My daughter's only positive comment was that the art work was interesting.

Para practicar inglés la temática me interesaba , aunque la idea era practicar inglés

es un libro cortísimo y da pocas explicaciones sobre los dioses de Egipto. Me ha parecido algo incompleto. Me esperaba otra cosa
