Egypt Books and More

 

To go with Expedition Earth for Egypt:

Prince of Egypt: Dreamworks Classics Collection - This was a little long for Cricket, and not a Magic Treehouse book. So I summarized once she started losing interest. 

The Mystery of King Karfu - This was a perfect book for Cricket. It had enough about Egypt to be meaningful, but was also a storybook. She loved all the clues and the way it allowed her to also be an investigator.

Ancient Egypt - This was an educational and factual library find, which Cricket had no interest in at all. 

Pleasure Books: 
Countdown to Thanksgiving - This book was a great math and seasonal add on. It reinforced the backwards counting we have been working on and Cricket enjoyed it. 


Dolphins at Daybreak (Magic Tree House, No. 9) - If you have been following our blog you probably already know that I have a huge Jack and Annie fan on my hands, but this was her favorite story yet. I think the kids riding on the dolphins pushed it over the edge! We have been talking about submarines and pretending to go undersea ever since we read this one.

Bedtime Books:

The Berenstain Bears and Too Much Vacation
Curious George and the Dump Truck
