Ancient Egypt is a subject of never-ending fascination for primary grade kids. Here they learn all about hieroglyphs, the beautiful pictogram writing that appears on mummy cases, papyrus scrolls, tomb walls, etc. What do the different symbols mean? How did we learn to decipher hieroglyphs? What was school and learning to read and write like for children of ancient Egypt? The information is accessible and fascinating, plus kids have the fun of creating hieroglyph messages and "works of art" using the accompanying stencil. Review: Engaging - Got it for a mini ancient Egypt study unit for my first graders. He wanted to use the stencil right away and kept him engaged for over an hour. The book is amazing. Review: Great for homeschooling - Added to our history study of Egypt. My little ones love using the hieroglyphs to write their names. Just an easy way to make history come to life.

Hieroglyphs Mystery Revealed!
The Hieroglyphs workbook and stencil takes the mystery out of the ancient Egypt symbols. The text is simple, informative, and displays the life and terminology used during ancient times. The stencil allows for interactive learning and creativity. I highly recommend this workbook.

Explains ancient Egyptian life and language.
Nice short book on ancient Egyptian life and language. Great for kids and young teens. Explains basic hieroglyphs. Comes with a stencil of 24 hieroglyphs that kids can use to form words and to write "secret" messages to their pals, but does not include a colored pencil to use with the stencil. Careful opening the back cover to remove the stencil; mine ripped while removing it.

Outstanding
Great book about ancient Egypt and hieroglyphs!! Excellent illustrations. I used it for my ancient Egypt lesson in elementary. It sparked a lot of interest and children loved using the stencil to write their names in hieroglyphs. Very cool!

Nice intro for kids
This book does a decent job of being both informative and entertaining. It's a little short, but my son enjoyed it nonetheless.

Simply excellent -- includes stencils!
*** I added a photo of a project my son completed using this book. -- check it out! *** This exciting book was fundamental to week 3 of our homeschool unit on ancient Egypt -- when we studied scribes, papyrus making, and hieroglyphs. The kids got toally carried away, writing each other coded notes and having a blast. We made homemade papyrus and used the stencil inside to write our translated Bible verses in beautiful hieroglyphs. This book is dynamite.

Love the Stencils
I liked this book because of the stencils and for the hieroglyphics. I think it could have focused on that a little more and left some of the filler out. I would still recommend this book. My son had a blast drawing his name and using the stencils.

Awsome book
I got this book as a gift,but when I received it I kept it for myself. The book is awesome and very interesting. It teaches you about the history of hieroglyphs and how to read and write it in a very simple way. I read it to my son but he just did not want me to stop till we finished reading it at once. I am not a kid but I liked it too. I am so happy I bought it and I will definitely buy it again to gift it for my friends. Thanks a lot for the writer

The stencil alone is worth the price!
I've been learning the Ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs and so I was very interested in having the stencil to use. Although the book is aimed at children, the stencil was my purpose in buying it and I'm quite enjoying it! The day I got it, I made a little sign with my nickname, using the stencil (see pic.) I showed it to the other students in my hieroglyphs class and they liked it too. ;)
