Reviews / Votes
Lively, colourful and fizzing with energy. || An ideal gift for all those kids who love their mummies wrapped in bandages || Succeeds in bringing an immensely complex subject into focus for early readers. || Mick Manning and Brita Granstro m have a recognisable style which does not inhibit the content of their amazing sequence of informative books on all sorts of subjects. Pharaoh's Egypt is in the 'Fly on the Wall' series with drawings and 'handwritten' notes which act as a superb introduction to many aspects of ancient Egypt.More details
