Egyptology: Search for the Tomb of Osiris Review
This book is so full of egyptian history its amazing!
There are secret pouches to find lots more exciting treasures. You can remove layer upon layer or tombs, until you reach.....a mummy!
My 6 year old loves it. It is a bit advanced for a young child, but if an adult is reading and explaining (almost everything) it's really awesome.

Fascinating for readers of any age - Kaydee - Seattle, WA
Bought as part of a birthday gift for my grandson who is fascinated with Egypt. This book (and series of "Ologies") is jam packed with interesting facts, with hands-on activities guaranteed to entertain and teach.
Excellent! - David Miller - Alberta, Canada
What makes it good is historical accuracy paired with the explorative nature of the book. It is colorful, full of pictures and many useful/random tidbits.
Fun, Intriguing Book - Lynn Ellingwood - Webster, NY United States
This is a great book for kids who enjoy interactive creative reads. The extras are always nice to accompany these books. The Egyptology book was snapped up by my students and they loved it. It was quite enjoyable to them and they read more than they often do in books. The big eye was really interesting to them.
