I bought the tape to listen to and see if it was something to add to our homeschool library and also whether it was something I would recommend to the university model school our older children attend. Although the resource is child-friendly for the lower elementary ages, there are far better books available to give a student a taste for Ancient Egypt's history of its pyramids. David MacAulay's book titled Pyramid would be a much better use of time. MacAulay's book is full of detailed drawings that a child could sit and ponder - good for their attention span. For literature I would recommend Jill Rubalcaba's A Place in the Sun and Eloise Jarvis McGraw's The Golden Goblet. Golden Goblet is of a higher reading level than A Place in the Sun and will give a richer, fuller look into the values and way of life of the Ancient Egyptians.
