Egypt is one of the oldest countries in the world. People love to visit the ancient pyramids outside of Cairo, the capital of Egypt. Thousands of years ago, pharaohs ruled Egypt, and people mummified many pharaohs after they died. Students will read all about mummy museums, school and work life in Egypt, and how Egyptians use the Nile River in their daily lives.

      Gr 2–5—-hese easy-to-read titles open with a very basic map and then go on to describe the country's geography, wildlife, and people. Crisp, colorful photographs are large and plentiful, and the texts provide sidebars of information. The writing is clear and simple without being simplistic, making the books useful starting points for primary students doing research. One drawback is the omission of a chapter on history. "Egypt"does include a brief mention of "ancient Egypt," while "Vietnam"has a few sentences about being a Communist country. Libraries that already own other simple nonfiction country books, such as the "Welcome to the World" series (The Child's World) and the "Fact Finders: Questions and Answers, Countries" series (Capstone), might not need these, unless there is a strong demand.—"Lisa Gangemi Kropp, Half Hollow Hills Community Library, Dix Hills, NY"
