Who Was King Tut?

My 8 year kid is fascinated reading this book, its simplistic language making the book fun to read and yet so informative.

I love this series! They are great, easy-to-read, fact based biographies that my children have grown up with. Sacagawea was our first book because of my daughter's obsession and from there we moved to other strong historical women, such as Helen Keller and Amelia Earhart. Then we would find subjects to correspond with whatever my kids were studying at school. Really, really recommend this series!!!

Excellent book, we have a few from the collect and all are very good and informative for my 6 year old son. A really easy fun way to build up his history knowledge.

This is a great overview of ancient Egyptian life and Egyptian archeological history. The book uses the discovery of King Tut's tomb by Howard Carter to discuss these wider issues. Not enough is known about Tutankhamun to really write a full biography book for children about his life. Thus, I'd say only about a third of the book actually talks about him while he was alive. The rest discusses his father Amenhotep, everyday ancient Egyptian life, Egyptian religion, Howard Carter, the Rosetta Stone and Hieroglyphics, papyrus, and the genesis of the modern King Tut's curse myth. My 8 year old daughter is reading through this now for Ancient Egypt study. This whole series is a wonderful resource for advanced second graders through fifth graders. The official reading level for this book is 3.4.They are cheap to buy and pack in loads of information in a conversational style of text that children will enjoy. Elementary school libraries usually carry many of these books now. The more of these Grosset & Dunlap produce the better!

We love the Who Was/Who Is/Where Is series! Great stories, even I like to read them along with my daughter. So happy to have found books my 9 year old will read!
