What was it like to be a kid helping in the construction of a pyramid?

Thousands of years ago, ancient Egypt was one of the world's greatest civilizations. Its rulers, the pharaohs, ordered the construction of incredible buildings called pyramids. They were meant to be the home for their own spirits after their death. Many of these enormous structures made of stone still stand today.

Join Seneb and Merti as they get a firsthand look at the construction of a pyramid. Learn about the materials and tools that were used to build these massive structures and discover why the pyramids continue to be a mystery for people today.

      Grades 1-4 Through fictionalized narration, energetic characters, and fun cartoon illustrations, the If You Were a Kid series gives young readers insight into different areas of life, most of which have a STEM focus. A brief introduction precedes each story, which stars a boy and girl character and provides readers with plenty of factual tidbits. In Building a Pyramid, the kids live in ancient Egypt and are intrigued by the pyramid that's being built nearby; through their eyes, readers get a glimpse inside a pyramid and an understanding of the manpower required for its construction. Each story comes packed with quick-fact sidebars, complete with photographs and charts, and volumes end with handy, easy-to-follow maps, time lines, and glossaries. A fun, absorbing first step into nonfiction.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2017, American Library Association.)
