National Geographic-Voices of Ancient Egypt by Kay Winters illustrated by Barry Moser*

I read this book of poetry to my boys as part of our routine before school.  Each of us looked forward to it!  I am so glad I found this poem book at the local used bookstore.  What a find!

Each poem features a different worker in Ancient Egypt, sharing details about their daily tasks and how they contribute to the success of Egypt's economy.  The titles of the poems are in English and in hieroglyphics.  In the back the author explains the workers' role in more detail.
*Highly recommend.
