The Ancient Egyptian World (The ^AWorld in Ancient Times)

I ordered this book in the hope that I could potentially use it as a textbook in my 7th grade history class, but unfortunately found it to be too casual in its tone. It typically reaches too far to make jokes by calling on silly pop culture references. The information was solid and concisely presented, but the reading level seems to be more aimed toward the fourth/fifth grade age range rather than the seventh/eighth grade audience that I teach.

Bought this for my 12 year old, but find my self reading it more than him! Very well written and very interesting history book. Some funny parts to it too. Hopefully it will help my son appreciate the Egyptian culture more.

The Oxford Ancient series is great. The Egyptian title is one of the most popular in my classroom. This may be because so many kids are already fascinated with Egypt. Or, as I think likely, they just gobble up this information rich volume because it is readable and interesting. Top recommendation.

It was written throughout. Disappointed. I don’t order books that’s at their written in since I use them for my kids homeschool.

Excellent
