Biesty shows in fantastic detail life on the ancient Nile during the reign of Ramses the Great in this illustrated tale of 11-year-old explorer Dedia and his father. The double-page spreads show work on temples and monuments, tombs and life in spots like the temple of Karnak and the Valley of the Kings. With accompanying explanatory text, including that of ancient Egypt's celebrated funerary arts. Yuck!  (EGY164, $18.99)
