Egyptian Pyramids! Ancient History for Children: Secrets of the Pyramids - Children's Ancient History Books

My four year old grandson, when asked what he would like for a bedtime story told us he wanted a story about ancient Egypt I knew I didn't have anything on hand. I went to Amazon and was able to download this and his grandpa read it to him about 10 minutes ago. He loved it! The information fascinated him and he really enjoyed the pictures. I recommend this book for growing minds.

The cover gives you the illusion that this would be a cartoon story, but it’s actual photos of pyramids inside. Boy and girl pharaohs are no where to be found inside. Then, there’s a scary photo of a mummy. This is a book for kids, right? Also, the SAME photo of Giza is used on 3 different pages! Another photo is used 2 times. Then, 4 pages are blank in the back. Only pro is it’s printed on good quality paper.

There are typos! It also seems that they copy and pasted some sentences and some paragraphs don't make sense.

My son received this book as a gift for his birthday. I don’t know why this book was selected, but just seeing the cover’s redundant title combined with the “Curlz MT” font screamed home print job. The inside was everything I expected from the cover. Same stock photo used several times (and even in the wrong location), horrible grammar, grating to read aloud to a child. The photo I have attached about sums it up. Several blank pages at the back combined with a time stamp showing it was printed days before we received it. The gift giver informed me this was the second copy as the first one they received was completely upside down inside. So this is the CORRECTED book. WOW.I get it. You want to publish a book and no publishers will work with you. Maybe stop and ask yourself WHY that is. I’m aware this is extremely critical, I rarely write reviews but felt compelled to after receiving this. I may not have majored in literature, but I’m also not publishing and selling books to “educate children”.Amazon - give self-printed books their own section and designation so people understand what they are purchasing. I’m all for giving the little guy a chance, but people should know what they are purchasing.

Loveiy little book.Illustration very colourful,text large and simply and o very good way of introducing a young child to ancient Egypian Pyramids.My 5yr old grandson loves it.
