We're Sailing Down the Nile: A Journey Through Egypt

We're Sailing Down the Nile invites young readers to climb aboard a riverboat and sail down Egypt's mighty Nile River, stopping at iconic landmarks along the way — from bustling Cairo and the temples of Luxor to Tutankhamen's tomb, the mysterious Sphinx, and the Great Pyramids of Giza. Laurie Krebs's lilting rhyming couplets are accompanied by Anne Wilson's vibrant, collage-style illustrations and eleven pages of rich educational back matter covering ancient Egyptian gods, history, hieroglyphics, and more.

This is a wonderful choice for students because it brings ancient Egypt to life in an accessible and visually engaging way, perfectly supporting social studies units on world civilizations while sparking curiosity and a love of exploration.
