This is a good book for children wanting to learn about Egyptian Myths, but only as a beginning as the myths themselves are lost in the information, the stories not really stories. From the creation of the world, to the pharaohs chosen by the gods, these stories chart the full sweep of ancient Egyptian mythology, revealing fascinating elements of culture and religion along the way. You'll explore this unique country in unprecedented detail, from the grandeur of the Great Pyramid of Giza to the treasures of Tutankhamun's tomb. And what a wonderful job Jean Menzies and Katie Ponder have done to bring them and their stories to life in this striking compendium of Egyptian myths.

Jag gillar även den här boken av Menzies, hon är väldigt duktig på att förmedla mytologi på ett lättfattligt och intressant sätt. With over 20 exciting tales alongside fascinating historical information, this is a must-have introduction for young readers interested in one of the world’s great early civilizations.

With 20 exciting tales alongside fascinating historical information, this is a must-have introduction for young readers interested in one of the world's great early civilizations. It's time to dive into the Duat underworld, follow scuttling scarab beetles into pyramid tombs, and uncover the story behind mummification.The illustrations were lovely and I actually discovered myths – not directly involving deities – that I'd never come across before when reading about Egyptian or world mythology, so that was really cool!
