Around the World Unit Study: Books on Egypt (By Calm Cradle Photo & Design)
We finished up our study of the African continent just before the holidays with a week-long focus on Egypt. I suspect you'll enjoy reading the books we found. Our favorites were the top two on the list.

North Africa (Egypt)
  • The Egyptian Cinderella by Climo
  • Day of Ahmed's Secret by Heide
  • The Egyptian Cinderella by Climo
  • The Time Traveller Book of Pharaohs and Pyramids
  • Spotlight on Egypt by Bobbie Kalman
  • Alligators and Crocodiles by Gibbons (Focus is actually on American alligators and crocodiles)
  • Library books on crocodiles

Activities
Located and labeled Egypt on map. Read about contemporary Egypt and the Nile. Wrote stories set in Egypt. Studied Nile crocodiles and painted pictures of them. Studied ancient Egypt and read letter from Isabelle (Letters from Afar) about her exploration of Egypt and the Great Pyramids. Compared and contrasted “The Egyptian Cindarella” and Disney’s “Cinderella” using a Venn diagram. Spent a day studying, drawing and writing about caracals (wild cats) at the Carolina Tiger Rescue.
