Critics Review
My #PictureBookFriday is a book you’ve got to use in your history lessons when studying ancient Egypt, Pyramid Boy! Coming from the author of Stone Age Boy, this is a wonderfully informative story which unpacks ancient Egyptian life, decoding hieroglyphics and exploring how pyramids were built. Beautifully illustrated too, I love all the information at the back too, which will really appeal to budding historians and archaeologists. * Check ‘Em Out Books *
The charming colour illustrations capture the ins-and-outs of the lives of the people in an almost-graphic novel style, which is a great way to engage younger readers.
This title is sure to follow the success of Satoshi’s Stone Age Boy published in 2008, which has become a classic and a popular resource in primary schools.
