from DK CHILDREN
Price: $10.87
Customer Review:
I bought this book as a supplement for home schooling. We have been studying Mesopotamia, but it was difficult to sort out all of the different civilizations that arose in the area. This book helps to clarify that. I also understand so much more about the region and all of its magnificent... more info | 5.0 / 5.0

from DK CHILDREN
Price: $10.87
Customer Review:
These DK white books are uncommonly heavy. They don't have as much detailed information as the Blue Guides or Rough Guides, but are good for brief visits or first timers. Where they excell is their outstanding illustrations and diagrams, often cutaways. The maps are good, but the labeling system... more info | 4.0 / 5.0

| 6. |  | Mummy (DK Eyewitness Books)
from DK CHILDREN
Customer Review:
I purchased this book because my 6 year old son was fascinated with Egypt. However, I would not recommend this book for a child of this age. The mummies are real in this book and there are a lot of them. It was even hard for me to stomach. As always, DK has illustrated a beautiful and detailed... more info | 4.0 / 5.0

Customer Review:
This book is a well written picture book that will hold the attention of young children, but has enough solid information to also educate older children and adults.

Customer Review:
This book could be considerably better. But it gives me a chance to show that I can be generous, and give five stars to any book that makes a serious effort to inform its readers. This book does that.

Customer Review:
I agree with the previous review that this book was similar to the Magic Treehouse series, but I think this book was even better than those. My six year old daughter and I loved this book.
