There are many ancient pyramids in Egypt, but there's only one Great Pyramid. Completed around 2550 BC, it is the largest pyramid of the ancient world. Although it was originally a tomb for an Egyptian emperor, today the pyramid is a link to the past, as well as a highly popular destination for world travelers. Dazzling photographs of the Great Pyramid and others from around the world are sure to intrigue and educate readers, and illustrations and graphic organizers help readers learn more from the text.

School Library Journal Review

Gr 2-5-A combination of outstanding illustrative material and engaging writing gives emerging readers an appealing introduction to some of the world's most important historical landmarks and the cultures that produced them. The facts help describe interesting or unique aspects of the ancient culture, the construction or purpose of the landmark, or its broader significance. Large color photos, archival illustrations, maps, diagrams, and cutaway drawings will help readers understand the enormous scope of the projects and the innovation and effort necessary for construction. Informative captions augment the main text of each page. By the time readers finish the lively and truly "fun facts" in these books, they will know much more about these fabulous places and how and why they were built. Excellent choices for all elementary libraries. (c) Copyright 2014. Library Journals LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc. No redistribution permitted.
