Critical Reviews

Retellings of Egyptian myths are not as easy to find as their Greek and Roman counterparts, so these high interest versions of selected myths are welcome additions to the collection. Each book begins with a list of characters and vocabulary, with introductory text that sets the stage for each story. Colorful, appealing, and often detailed full-page illustrations alternate with pages of narrative. The sometimes brief text is printed in a box surrounded by hieroglyphics on a colored background. This appealing and informative series is sure to be popular with students and teachers as well as readers who enjoyed the series of Greek myths also by Cari Meister. Bibliography. Websites. Highly Recommended.-- "Library Media Connection"
