Ancient Egypt: Tales of Gods and Pharaohs written and illustrated by Marcia Williams is a wonderfully illustrated book retelling nine stories of Ancient Egypt. I am not usually a person who likes comic strip type storytelling but this one works for me. I think it is because the illustrations remind me of hieroglyphics, which is a very appropriate way to tell stories about Ancient Egypt. It is a very accessible and fun way to learn history. Like I said I would have loved to get this as a gift when I was young....(oh who am I kidding I would love it now!)
by Jeff Reynolds is a great book to read and talk about during this crisis. This book talks about the country as it is today not just how it was in the past. It is part of a series that talks about the countries of the world. It has information about the geography, culture, history, people, economy and politics. This is a perfect introduction to a country in crisis.
