Core 1 Supplement Week 9: The Everyday Life of An Egyptian Craftsman by Giobanni Caselli
Rating: 8/10
This book is great for an auditory learner who likes lots of details. If your child is a visual learner or not so keen on details, I don't think it would work as well.
It follows a boy whose father is being promoted from Temple Draftsman to scribe, and his life, including a festival, a party, and school. It contains many, many facts of Egyptian life, but it incorporates it into story format. There is a larger amount of text, so it would work best with an older child.
But it does a good job of showing family life, including adoption, servants, clothing, food, and much more.
