| Gr 3-8-Through a combination of fiction and nonfiction, Hooper describes the construction of Senwosret's pyramid in Egypt 4000 years ago. On each illustrated spread, a different person claims to have built the pyramid, from Montuhotep, who designed it, to Inyotef, who sculpted the capstone, to Wah, who carried water to workers at the site. Some of the figures are real, others are fictional but together they ask readers to consider how many people it took to accomplish this great feat. The oversized computer drawings in bold, bright colors are striking. Final pages provide additional information on the planning, building, and robbing of the tomb. Color photos of the site and artifacts accompany this section. Although there are a number of titles for this audience on pyramids, this book approaches the topic in a unique way. |
Foreign Customer Review / 国外客户评价: |
| I teach preschool age children---for two years I've taught Egypt and read this to them---they LOVE it! The art is bold, so are the characters! Everyone has a right to claim---they built the pyramid. This story invites all sorts of questions from the kids, such as, "why is that mans face like that? Why is that man darker than the others? Why are they wearing diapers?" :)
Which, thrillingly, invites discussion answers, such as, "that man is pulling a huge stone up a ramp. Hes big because its hard work, hes sweaty because its hot in the desert and hes dark from being in the sun all day with hardly any clothes on....etc"
"See the river in the background? Thats the Nile! Remember, the river that flows upwards?"
I also liked the part where they DO mention that you can't fit a piece of paper between each stone block of the pyramid. Another amazing fact that just happens to be in there and contributes to the overall quality.
The story takes a page from each person who might have contributed to the entire construction of a pyramid, from Pharoah down to water carrier. At the end of the book, there are some pictures of what the pyramid and Senwosret the Pharoah looked like. Enjoyable for a variety of childhood ages and levels. The kids really pick up on the theme and are educated at the same time----hey, why aren't there more books like this out there??? |
