Tutankhamen's Gift
Tutankhamen's Gift | Robert Sabuda
1 post | 1 read | 3 to read
Small and frail, Tutankhamen was an all but ignored member of the royal family of the great Egyptian pharoah Amenhotep III. At the school of the "menoi," or tutors, he did not excel at physical activities with the other royal princes. Keeping to himself, he observed and admired the work of his father's craftsmen, who built glorious temples to Egypt's many gods. Someday he too would find a gift for those gods. Then Amenhotep III died and the unpopular reign of Tutankhamen's brother ended in mystery. Who now would be pharoah? Could it be a boy of only ten? As he did with the life of "Saint Valentine" (Atheneum, 1992), Robert Sabuda combines simple text with artwork true to the historical period in which Tutankhamen lived.

This book is based on a true story and it is a nonfiction book about Tutankhamen as a child and the story of his life. I found this book very fascinating and I think students would love to learn about Egypt through the story of a child. UDL 1.2 "offer alternatives for auditory information" this story had amazing art to help aid the story. EL 28 "provide biographies of significant men and women from different countries" #ucflae3414f17 TS-PR

Susancruz I love the idea of learning about Egypt as a child rather than an adult, it is so much easier for children to relate to kids than adults! 6y
KayleeC This book looks so interesting! This would be a great book to read if you were doing a unit on Egypt! 6y
DominiqueL I loved learning about ancient Egypt when I was in school and I think it is so much more interesting and interesting to learn about it through books like these rather than only traditional history books! 6y
juliek1 I'd love to check this out! I always loved learning about Egyptian culture. Did you ever read The Royal Diaries? They had one about Cleopatra, and it was a favorite as a kid. 6y
