British Museum: So You Think You've Got It Bad? A Kid's Life in Ancient Egypt

A kid's life in ancient Egypt might sound like fun with all the cool pyramids and gloriously sunny weather, but actually, it was rather tough! In this hilarious book, written by award-winning author Chae Strathie, children will learn exactly how difficult life was, from dodging

Deathstalker scorpions and cleaning up cow dung to fetching water from the well, eating roast hedgehog, and being slammed in the stocks for being naughty at school! Probably the first book about ancient Egypt that involves bubble wrap and skateboards!
