A current work on aspects of Ancient Egypt, this text provides a strong overview of many topics that would be helpful in a research unit. Each spread of two pages has a different topic, which would appeal to students as they could get quick summaries of different topics and be able to discern topics of interest for future research. Would have given 5 stars, but the brief subjects does leave a desire for slightly more in-depth information.

Reading Level: 5
This book provides answers to a wide range of questions about animals and their behaviors and abilities.
