Pets Tell Tales: Ancient Egypt

About this book

Welcome to Ancient Egypt as you’ve never seen it before – from the point of view of animals. 

Using a comic book format, Manny the ibis takes the reader on a tour of the history, myths, and customs of the Ancient Egyptians – and shows how important animals were. 

From the myth of a goose creating the world to sacred scarab beetles and beloved pet cats or dogs, animals played a large role in everyday life thousands of years ago. 

There are jokes throughout this highly informative yet very appealing graphic novel-style book. The black and white illustrations are full of energy and humour, complementing the funny text perfectly. The text is mostly in speech bubbles, which is all in capitals, with the occasional extra bit of info in upper and lower case.  

This is an engaging introduction to Ancient Egypt, packed with information. Perfect for children who are visual learners.
