A review by kelleemoye
Who Was King Tut? by Who HQ, Roberta Edwards
4.0
Although ultimately this book is a biography of King Tut, it also is a history book of Egypt. Not much is known about the child pharoah that a small amount of the book is actually about him. More is about his father and other aspects of Egyptian history.
I was a big fan on how the book was set up. There are chapters that are a bit narrative and within the chapters there are extra informative sidebars to add to the story being told. I will definitely get more books from the "Big Head Biography" series in the future. I think they make history and biographies so accessible to children.
This book piggie backed nicely with [b:Athena's Son|13247385|Athena's Son|Jeryl Schoenbeck|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1347876211s/13247385.jpg|18447955] which I read a week ago and would be a great nonfiction connection with it, the Kane Chronicles, Aphrodite the Diva, and any other book with Egyptian mythology.
