We are reading the book Toen leefden kinderen zo - In Egypte (When children lived like this - In Egypt), by French author / Historian Viviane Koenig. The book describes what the daily life of children in ancient Egypt looked like. In lots of ways it's very different than today but at the same time a lot is similar.
The short chapters are generously illustrated with photos, like images of these children, their toys and clothing. These objects are heirlooms from museums all over the world. The book is a great introduction to the antiquity for young children. Our young monsters really like the book.
Also good to know, in the series How children lived, 3 more books have been published, In de Prehistorie, Bij de Gallo-Romeinen and Bij de Indianen (At the Native Americans).
3+ uniquely beautiful stars for the series Zo leefden kinderen, from the snazzie readers and the young listeners!
