I love the "If You Were Me and Lived In..." series of books by Carole P. Roman. I am privileged to have almost the entire collection from around the world. This one is a view of Egypt.
As with all of her books from this series, she follows a general format which includes: city capital, name for parents, names for children, money used,foods eaten, places to visit, school name, holidays.
This time some of those words were hard even for me to pronounce! Thank goodness for that glossary of terms in the back.
This book seemed to be a little bit more sophisticated than the first few I read. It gave much more detail and she seemed to have upgraded for a more reading emergent child.
I knew about the Nile River but did not know that you could travel up and down it on an everyday trip. Wow, what fun!
Since I am fascinated with Egyptian lore, all the information about the pyramids and rulers was great too.
Want to learn more? I highly recommend this book and the whole series. Amazon
Another 5 star book to me.

I loved getting those too and so did my grandson. They were right at his level and the little things she use to send with it was so appropriate and as he said she made reading fun.
