Reviewer: "What youngster doesn't enjoy reading about the ancient Egyptians? Who can resist that kind of brain pulled down the nose detail? This well designed and engaging book taps right into that youthful enthusiasm and delivers. The adventure is well planned and enthralling, but the pièce de résistance is the fantastic CD-ROM which allows children to write it basic hieroglyphic script. What's not to enjoy? Really good as a present to build on an enthusiasm for the Egyptians, or as a thoughtful gift for any child just above or just below the age of 10 years."
