This is the kind of book I would have read at 8 or 9 to do a book report on the Egyptian culture. So in short it is small, interesting and has lots of pictures, tables and facts. Something my homeschooled-DK Eyewitness-and-Usborne loving geek mind would totally eat up.

Excellent assortment of stories of the gods and a few stories passed down about more commonfolk. Easy to understand, but Don Nardo also offers more in -depth commentary from experts and more resources to dive deeper into the mythos!
I agree with another reviewer, the suitable age would be high schooler, but I also think advanced readers in the junior high level would benefit, as well!
