Egyptology: Search for the Tomb of Osiris

What an awesome book. My second grader read it at school and asked if we could pick it up - so we did - because you can't argue logic with a feral eight year old. He loves it. Chock full of Egyptian history - which only goes to further his enjoyment of Raiders of the Lost Ark.

The book is a fantastic for young readers. The illustrations are full of little details.

I had Dragonology since i was a kid and later learned this one existed. It made me so happy to get it. I love the exploration aspects of these books. Sure thats probably a really silly thing to be nostalgic over but it is nice to have an interactive book with puzzles and letters hidden within.

My 6 year old son had checked this book out of the library multiple, multiple times. He is fascinated with Egypt. I decided he needed to own his favorite book of all time, and he LOVES it!! He carries it in his backpack to/from school everyday, and carries it in the car when we're going other places. Best purchase:)

This book is like the others of its type, meaning its perfect for kids who want to dig deeper into a subject or learn a random collection of information related to a particular subject. It is written in a kid-friendly way, aimed at pre-teen or teen reading and understanding level. These books are especially cool because they have pockets with removable bits, such as cards with additional information or bits of cloth that are examples of some detail that page talks about. The one about Greek and Roman mythology is also very cool. They don't dig deep into the history or facts in terms of learning them for academics, but they are excellent support material that can either help the subject to be more fun for the kid or extra material if the kid is particularly interested in the subject.

Everything about this is wonderful it has most detailed illustrations and lots interactive pop ups and other things.

The book is pretty cool other than the fact that it’s very obviously damaged and not new. There’s a dent on the front cover, one of the envelopes is taped and it looks like someone tried to dig out the jewel on the inside of the back cover. Very disappointing because the book wasn’t sold as “used” or “damaged”. Returning immediately and hopefully the next book will be in excellent condition.

My 5 year old (obsessed with King Tut) was absolutely fascinated and ended up falling asleep with this book in his arms the night he got it.Packed full of so much useful and amazing facts, anyone with a passion for egyptology could never regret spending the money on such a beautiful piece of literature. Fascinating.
