Author Philip Ardagh has created an amusing gem with an off-the-wall history of ancient Egypt for children. This zany pop-up will make you hoot as you read through King Tut's diary and experience what it was like to be a young noble in ancient times. The stories are based on fact and there are many interesting tidbits, just one of them being that young "Tuankhaten" later chose "Tutankhamen" for his own name. These bits of ancient trivia are interspersed with Tut's personal entries: "In case of emergency, please contact Horemheb or Ay at the palace." This book makes learning a joyful experience!
