About this title

Synopsis:

Tuthmosis's brother, Amenhotep, struggles with the priests and his power-hungry young wife, Nefertiti, while Ta Miu, who helped Tuthmosis and Isikara escape in Eye of the Moon, is now maidservant to Nefertiti's rival, Kiya. But Ta Miu disastrously falls for tomb-robber, Samut, and finds herself imprisoned as a result. Meanwhile Tuthmosis and Isikara return from Egypt in secret, sending rumours flying about the prince's intentions. Nefertiti is terrified that he is after her husband's throne, while the High Priest fears his secret will be revealed. Their hiding place betrayed by Samut, Isikara is captured and thrown into prison alongside Ta Miu, whilst Tuthmosis is murdered. But only Ta Miu and Isikara know the truth and unless they can escape from their prison, the guilty will go free...

Review:

"Thompson's mixed-media-with-collage illustrations bring the fun to life, the daughter's joy and the father's exuberance more than evident on the page. Bright colors and a scratchy, splotchy style suit the topic, and observant readers can see details in the pictures that lead the child to think her dad is each kind of animal. Readers at home and at school will enjoy using this as a springboard for describing their own dads and the things they do together." * Kirkus Reviews * "Lovely pics and lots of giggles as we read it through. Perfect idea for father's day." * Let them be Small * "This warm and affectionate depiction of a day in the life of a single dad and his daughter is lovingly rendered in lots of splashy detail by Carol Thompson. The playful text works well with the energetic illustration; Dad is cheerful, fun and realistically exhausted by the end of the day, and the little girl is, again, authentically depicted as a whirlwind of activity." * Booktrust * "An imaginative children's story full of fabulous animal fun as a little girl imagines all the animals that her daddy can be like...Told from the perspective of a single parent dad bringing up a daughter, this is a fantastic little book that doesn't stray too far into 'Dads being daft' territory." * Read It Daddy! * "A joyful celebration of daddies everywhere with appeal and resonance for children and their parents too." * Books for Keeps 4 star review * "The text and images work well together, with the words weaving their way through the illustrations ... an entertaining picture book." * IBBY Link * "There's energy and exhaustion and plenty of love in this story , told by a gorgeous little girl who adores her dad." * School Librarian *
