In this book, Miles Harvey shows the reader a variety of things that come from Egypt--some of which are familiar to us in the U.S. This is a good book to read to preschoolers that are interested in learning about Egypt.
Another great check-out for our unit on Ancient Egypt!
This book shows how many of the things family in our daily lives today, came from Ancient Egypt. Your children (and you!) will find this book fascinating!
