“Have you ever thought about visiting Egypt? Readers of Escapade through Egypt will feel like they have been there in person after viewing the amazing photographs on every page of the book. Bernadette Simpson set out to acquaint the reader with everyday life in Egypt, and her book truly achieves this goal. The author’s conversational style invites the reader into many aspects of Egyptian daily life with clarity and humor. Many pages include interactive activities such as the balancing quiz about bread and explaining different ways to spell and pronounce yogurt. This is the kind of book that readers will return to again and again to enjoy the photographs and learn more details about the many topics covered in the book. The glossary is a wealth of information by itself. Ms. Simpson’s appreciation of Egypt and its culture is easily communicated to the reader. I recommend this book to educators who teach units on Egypt, to anyone who enjoys learning about other cultures, and to travelers who have been to Egypt or would like to visit one day. It is a masterpiece!”
