 Pyramid maze June 11, 2010
wogan (U.S.A.)
The pictures and historical facts are interesting, but I have my doubts about the reading level, usually children of this age are not used to reading such small print and might have trouble with it, some print is larger but the reading level seems to be higher than the pictures and the maze exercises.. With an adult's help they will be able to complete the exercises but it would be nice if it was more age friendly at the lower edge of 9 year olds.
Pyramid maze this is an interesting teaching tool it would be nice to use as a classroom supplement or as a summer activity.

I purchased this maze book for my 12 yr old son who told me that it is much more interesting than most maze books because it features staircases and ladders amongst the paths.
Great way to learn February 8, 2009

This book is both an introduction into ancient Egyptian culture and a fun maze book that is great to do with your child. It features a narrative story by a boy looking to help his father, a builder working on the pharoh's hidden chamber, find his way out before the tomb is closed forever. Wonderful illustrations and a fun puzzle increase the enjoyment of this book. The companion book about castles is also a great pick. My 8 year old loves Egyptian culture, as do I. We really had a nice time working on this book together.

There are lots of fun maze books around, and this one is as fun as any, but what sets it apart are the details about pyramid design and construction. A lot of fascinating historical info from National Geographic is woven into the stories and puzzles, and the book still very engaging, not at all dry. I bought it for a niece, but ended up reading all the pages myself before I gave it to her. Good for kids of almost any age.
