Boys and girls who open this activity book will take a fascinating step back in time as they explore an ancient civilization. The book presents maps, time lines and fun facts about ancient Egypt, and instructs in crafts activities for kids that reflect ancient Egypt's culture and technology. Projects that require use of a craft knife are labeled with a red star, which recommends adult supervision. Color charts and illustrations on nearly every page.

(back cover)
Step back in time with this brilliant activity book. It's packed with fascinating historical ideas for things to do and make.
Grade 3-5–Each book gives instructions for approximately 10 activities or crafts. A short introductory paragraph and a supply list accompany each one. Bits of trivia, a map, and a time line offer some background on the culture. The projects are varied, but most are made of cardboard and paper. Some of them are underwhelming, such as the two-and-one-half-inch-tall model of a Roman fort. Directions are mostly clear, although there is a measurement mistake on the first craft in Roman. Some phrases and attempts at humor in these titles may give American readers difficulty, e.g., stoned dates versus pitted. In some cases, a subtitle or heading is misleading, and the accompanying text never delivers the anticipated information. The colorful cartoon illustrations are pleasing but lack necessary detail and perspective in several places. Each back cover includes a fold-out, removable sheet of stencils. Safety notes are included. Laurie Carlson's Classical Kids (Chicago Review, 1998) has similar activities with more cultural information.–Carol S. Surges, McKinley Elementary School, Wauwatosa, WI
