Review:

"This truly fascinating book makes connections to history, math, and science while focusing mainly on the art and culture of ancient Egypt." -- School Arts Magazine, on Great Ancient Egypt Projects You Can Build Yourself" "It's much more than a project book ... The 12 chapters are clearly written and introduce the polar regions in a comprehensive way." --School Library Journal "Clearly illustrated projects appear with well-written lessons ... A great glossary, and good vocabulary sidebars. Bonus: Printed on recycled content paper, with a note on the Green Press Initiative at front, this book's publisher walks the talk!" --CeciBooks Editorial and Publishing Consultancy "Introduces readers to the animals and environments of the North and South poles, and then offers activities--from making a polar bear coin collector to sun goggles--to provide fun, hands-on learning." -- Cobblestone Magazine
