Hieroglyphs

This book does a decent job of being both informative and entertaining. It's a little short, but my son enjoyed it nonetheless.

Granddaughter loved this book!

*** I added a photo of a project my son completed using this book. -- check it out! *** This exciting book was fundamental to week 3 of our homeschool unit on ancient Egypt -- when we studied scribes, papyrus making, and hieroglyphs. The kids got toally carried away, writing each other coded notes and having a blast. We made homemade papyrus and used the stencil inside to write our translated Bible verses in beautiful hieroglyphs. This book is dynamite.

I don't know why, but I had really high expectations for this book. However, the "directions" are pretty vague. Also, my book came completely trashed. It has rips all over it and was just in really bad condition for a new book. It MIGHT have been from shipping but even so, it should have probably been packaged better then! Even with the damage it was easy to read. I don't agree that it's really for "5 year olds", though. If there had been better directions in this book I would have easily given it 5 stars. However, they get away with not having to really give too many directions by saying "there is no right way." That's fine, but it's a little confusing. The stencil is a nice addition and mostly why I bought it. I have had a little experience with hieroglyphics over the years so perhaps I was expecting too much from this. My oldest kid had absolutely no interest in it right NOW but if they get into this subject later in school then they will probably love this book as an addition to my other hieroglyphics books. For the price, it's not too bad, though.

Added to our history study of Egypt. My little ones love using the hieroglyphs to write their names. Just an easy way to make history come to life.

Got it for a mini ancient Egypt study unit for my first graders. He wanted to use the stencil right away and kept him engaged for over an hour. The book is amazing.

A nice very colorful book to learn the basics of Egyptian hieroglyphs. Comes with a page-size plastic stencil to practice writing names and other words. I bought two, one for myself and one for my 12-year-old niece who expressed an interest in Egypt. The guide also has pictures of a few popular Egyptian deities, such as Osiris , Isis, Bastet, Set, Sobek, Horus, etc

I got this for my 2nd graders since we were reading books about mummies and ancient Egypt. They loved the stencils!

I got this book as a gift,but when I received it I kept it for myself. The book is awesome and very interesting. It teaches you about the history of hieroglyphs and how to read and write it in a very simple way. I read it to my son but he just did not want me to stop till we finished reading it at once. I am not a kid but I liked it too. I am so happy I bought it and I will definitely buy it again to gift it for my friends. Thanks a lot for the writer

I've been learning the Ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs and so I was very interested in having the stencil to use. Although the book is aimed at children, the stencil was my purpose in buying it and I'm quite enjoying it! The day I got it, I made a little sign with my nickname, using the stencil (see pic.) I showed it to the other students in my hieroglyphs class and they liked it too. ;)
