Summary: Who said History had to be Boring?
Comment: This book is a hoot. I read a review not long ago by a reader who bought it thinking it was a history text. What it's really meant to do is help you organize your children's study of Egypt utilizing other resources. And this it does very effectively.
The Greenleaf Guide to Ancient Egypt makes use of four primary texts (Elizabeth Payne's The Pharaohs of Ancient Egypt, Tony Allan's Time Traveller Book of Pharoahs and Pyramids, Angela Wilkes' Deserts, and David Macaulay's classic book, Pyramid). The Guide helps the parent/teacher assign and coordinate the children's reading, suggests additional resources and describes various hands-on projects. My kids' favorite activity came during Lesson One-The Geography of Egypt, when each of them made a colored salt map of Egypt. The instructions were clear and flexible (trust me--a boon to busy homeschool parents!). The children also enjoyed making a giant backyard shaduf (you'll have to read the book to know what that is).
Last night, as I was re-acquainting myself with these materials, my 12-year-old daughter said, "Dad, can you find any more fun stuff like that for our history?"
What more can a teacher and parent wish for?

Summary: Great way to study Egypt!
Comment: As a history teacher and homeschooling mom, I always look for ideas to give my students to enhance thier study of the era or place. This is a wonderful supplement to any study of Egypt for all students. The Christian emphasis provides an added dimension and allows the students to incorporate the study of the Biblical accounts of Egypt into the study. This is highly recommended for a well-rounded approach. The guide also includes wonderful supplemental readings.
