Ancient Egypt: Tales of Gods and Pharaohs

48 pp. | Candlewick | September, 2011 | Trade ISBN 978-0-7636-5308-8 $16.99
(4) 4-6 A selection of Egyptian myths and stories (and even some history, though it's hard to distinguish) are retold in accessible, humorous text. Comic panels help contain the tales, with the illustrations applying a cartoon aesthetic to ancient Egyptian art styles. A running story line following a cat's adventures provides additional levity (but doesn't add much to the stories themselves).
