About this title

Synopsis

The new Shape Books series brings the ancient world to three-dimensional life and reveals the most interesting topics from some of the world's most important empires.

Each title is a self-boxed 3-D board book that replicates an iconic structure from an ancient civilization. Page-filling color illustrations and concise text take young readers back in time, where they discover how people lived and what their world looked like. Engaging, interactive and informative, Shape Books are sure to be a hit with curious readers.

Readers will find the fascinating stories of the most famous Egyptian icons: hieroglyphs, pharaohs, gods, pyramids and other tombs, mummies and the Nile. Cutaway illustrations and concise text describe how archaeological discoveries were made and what they reveal about the civilization that created them.
