Voices of Ancient Egypt

Voices of Ancient Egypt

by Kay Winters  •  Barry Moser (Illustrator)

  • HISTORY
  • 2009
  • PAPER
  • YOUNG READERS (Age 4-8)

A delightful way for children in grades 3 to 6 to learn about ancient Egyptian people and their civilization. Accompanied by Barry Moser's warmly detailed illustrations, members of an Egyptian village introduce themselves and explain their roles within the society in lively free-verse poems. Winters gives a voice to even the most obscure occupations-- the birdnetter, for example, and the embalmer-- and each introduction is accompanied by historical notes, making this a fun and informative guide.  (EGY116, $6.95)
