lucyblack's review against another edition
3.0
Ancient Egypt is interesting and all but I mainly read this cos I love Isabel Greenbergs drawing style so much. It's an easy to read comic style short fact book. the pictures are cute and well done and I found out a few things I didn't know.

3.5 /5
After thoroughly enjoying Imogen and Isabel Greenberg's books about the Ancient Romans and Ancient Greeks, I couldn't wait to pick up the other books in this series.
Despite this series of books being written for children, I really enjoyed the Greenberg sisters' fantastic and beautifully illustrated book about the Ancient Egyptians.
I'm huge history lover but I have an embarrassingly limited knowledge of ancient history. Imogen Greenberg's writing is fabulous, she brings a lightness and fun to the facts and allows to reader to easily understand and comprehend all of the information given. This isn't an in-depth book, but it gives a wonderful insight and background into the Ancient Egyptians, including important dates, places and people.
Isabel Greenberg is one of my favourite illustrators, I adored her two graphic novels, The Encyclopaedia of Early Earth and The Hundred Nights of Hero. Honestly, her artwork was the main reason why I picked this book up! Greenberg's illustrations are gorgeous as always and work perfectly with her sister's text.
I would definitely recommend this book to children and adults alike! I'm excited to see what the Greenberg sisters do next.
