pickThe first thing I noticed were the large, full-page illustrations with colors, shading, and texture that bring Egypt to life.
The prose is written in a way that is poetic, thoughtful, and can further entice a reader‘s imagination.

pickThis story was much different than I expected. Khepri is going across the river. He normally goes out on the Nile river to fish, and gather for the family. But today is special. Today he crosses the river for the first day of school. At the end the author as a page about writing in Ancient Egypt and what school was like. I also like that she has a short list of further reading.
