5 out of 5 stars Fun, Intriguing Book   October 14, 2008

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.


5 out of 5 stars good book   October 6, 2008

lots of good information for the younger reader. Also a good segway into more involved books.


3 out of 5 stars Not as good as I expected   March 25, 2008

I was actually disappointed in this Ology book. I have two others and the way the information is presented in them plus the little extras were just better in those. There weren't as many exciting extras in this one as I expected and the "mummy cloth" example was a bit disappointing. I bought this for my daughter and she became bored quickly due to the confusing way the pages were written and presented. I am hoping the next Ology I choose will be more like the first two I have.


4 out of 5 stars A beautiful book   December 29, 2007

My sister loved this book. It is beautifully drawn, illustrated, and written. There are many wonderful pull outs and the budding archaeologist in our family loved it. :D


5 out of 5 stars Great!   December 11, 2007
J. Hartwick (Huntsville, AR USA)
I had been looking at this book for about a year and was on the fence about buying it. The main reason was because it was 20-25 dollars everywhere. When I saw it for under 14 on Amazon I knew it was a bargain! It's wrapped up safe under my tree and I know my daughter will love it!
