You just tried out for the school play. And who wants the lead part more than anyone? YOU! Imagine wearing the finest jewels. Having a pyramid built just for you. Being bowed to and pampered wherever you go. It’s quite a life when you're treated like a god. But that’s the way it was for a pharaoh in ancient Egypt.

The titles in the Way It Was series offer role-playing (in the form of a school play) as an entry point to history. A narrator, who appears on most spreads, speaks directly to the reader, telling him or her how to feel (“you’re not scared”) and providing commentary as each crisis—mosquitoes! frostbite!—presents itself. Sidebars on each page supply the hard facts, while cartoonlike images reflect the playful tone of the main narration. In Your Life as a Pharaoh in Ancient Egypt, kids become Pharaoh Nebibi, living in 2401 BCE, who needs to supervise the construction of a pyramid. From there, readers wend through life in ancient Egypt, encountering tomb robbers and war. A ton of fun and the closest kids can get (so far) to a time machine. Grades 3-5. --Ann Kelley
