My family recently reviewed some books on Egyptology for children and I have to say ‘Wow!’ I am impressed. The interactive nature of books nowadays blows my mind. There are books on Egyptian Hieroglyphics that have the stamps, clay, papyrus, etc in them along with the book so it enraptures active children. They just aren’t reading it on paper they are doing it in activity.
There was a book on ‘Dragonology’ referring to the Anglo-Saxon runes and how to translate them into English. There were also codes in both section of books on ‘Dragonology’ and ‘Hieroglyphics’.
Why would this be important to parents and book geeks alike? Because we want our children to feel the same love for books that we have and the more interactive the information the more catching it is to today’s children. Check these books out if your children have an interest in ancient writing and even if they don’t – it will open their world to a new way of thinking.
If you are wondering how to get your kids interested in ancient text my recommendation is have a husband into the movie and TV series ‘Stargate’!
