Pharaoh's Handbook by Sam Taplin

Pharaoh's Handbook by Sam Taplin

An informative guide for young Pharaohs, this handbook gives an insider's view of what it was like to rule the Land of the Pyramids. It provides everything power-hungry young scarabs need to know to become Pharaoh, run their country smoothly and to build the greatest of monuments to ensure their legacy stands the test of time. It includes helpful tips on how to be mummified and survive the journey to the afterlife. Witty illustrations complement the text creating a friendly and accessible introduction to Ancient Egyptian history.

Within its 73 pages this book, written in a tongue in cheek, irreverent style that would appeal to KS2 readers, manages not only to impart far more facts about the life and role of the Pharaoh than would be normally found in a book for this age group but also includes plenty of information about clothing, adornment, everyday life and religion; with plenty of suitably gory descriptions of mummification and the journey to the Afterlife..Your class will be queuing up to read this one! * School Library Journal *

Sam Taplin grew up in a beautiful valley in Yorkshire, where he dreamed of being a writer, and after three years reading other people's books at university he started writing his own for Usborne. He's been doing it ever since. When he's not writing about lonely rabbits or inquisitive bears, he likes doing card tricks, writing songs and playing long games of chess by the fire.
