Reviews

A lovely book full of facts and bright colours. The children were intrigued to find out what was behind the flaps and this kept their interest, as did the gruesome details such as a jar containing lungs and intestines in the tombs. The cardboard pages also make the book sturdy which is great in a busy childrens environment. It is a great resource for teaching an understanding of this time period. * Primary Teacher Update *
