In Deborah Nash's "Riddle of the Nile" baby crocodile longs to be king of the Nile. In order to do this he must set out to solve the riddle of the Nile. Along the way he meets several characters who help to represent and describe different parts of Egyptian culture. This book is a great way to introduce the Ancient Egyptians and how they influenced science today. I liked the book but thought that a little more science content could have been added since the theme of the book was to introduce Ancient Egypt. Throughout the book there are side notes that intervene to tell of a significant aspect of the ancient culture. Within these there is some science content. For example, Nash writes, "water wheels help to irrigate the fields by lifting water from the canals which join the river." If wanting to connect to science, the teacher could use these facts to show how they have influenced today's science. The grade level for this book depends on the science lesson that goes along with it. I would say that grades 2-5 would enjoy this book. Overall, the book was a great read and described many of the things that are important in Egyptian culture!… (más)
