Gr 2-4-This broad overview of the geography, wildlife, history, and culture of Egypt presents the land as mostly desert with two seasons-hot and cool. The history in this slim book extends back 250,000 years and is of necessity truncated to brief paragraphs spanning these years. Two-page chapters provide oversimplified information on leisure activities including sports, language, and food. A world map places Egypt in its global context and another shows it alongside its African and Middle Eastern neighbors. Brilliantly colored photographs on every page illustrate the people and the variety of lifestyles in modern Egypt-rural farming, nomadic sheep and goat herding, oil drilling, and urban businesses.-Frances E. Millhouser, Chantilly Regional Library, VA
