A list of tools they needed and how to return then and much more .IT also gave information on how they got information around .It goes very briefly on how the we miss treated for talking back or trying to do anything out of the sorts.Ending with any amazing story on how they rapped the Pharaoh after death and his send off ( )

You would not want to be an pyramid builder in Ancient Egyptian …or would you? This historical, non-fiction picture book, describes the life of a pyramid builder--from the poor life and work conditions to the mummification process, it offers gruesome, yet, interesting facts that will keep kids entertained while learning . Though some of the text is conveyed in paragraph form, there are also simple facts and vocabulary interwoven within the full-page, semi-cartoon like illustrations. This additional text creates an easy to read format, while the pictures help to explain the unique concepts and terms. The book also offers a glossary and index for further research and clarification. Some of the details might be too icky for younger children. Recommended for children ages 6-10. ( )
