Explorers are designed to appeal to all readers who are just starting to read alone, and more confident readers who are beginning to exercise wider reading and cross-referencing skills. Lively, dramatic artwork scenes draw children into a subject, and each scene is followed by a photographic information spread that gives a wealth of extra detail. As a fun extra element, the reader can follow themed links to access information on related topics. Ancient Egypt is an adventure to discover this fascinating ancient world, unlocking the secrets of pharaohs, pyramids and gods, and finding out about everyday life thousands of years ago.

Like previous titles in the Explorers series, the busy pages of these new entries offer a variety of browsing options for even the most curious of readers. Ancient Egypt delves into Egyptian religious rituals and beliefs as well as daily life for both ordinary Egyptians and their pharaohs. Thanks to the many different potential paths through each book’s pages, multiple reads can offer a few different experiences. Readers could follow the main text; the descriptive text related to the large, colorful photos and illustrations; or the numbered facts and captions at the top and bottom of each page. Alternately, you could follow the icons to related illustrations around the book, in the style of a treasure hunt. The unique “More to Explore” section at the end of the book provides additional information about items in the categories that the four icons represent. In Ancient Egypt, these are “Everyday Objects,” “Jobs,” “Animals,” and “Gods and Goddesses.” Like their predecessors, these Explorers books truly live up to their series name. Grades 3-5. --Miriam Aronin
