I got this in conjunction with a trip to see the recent King Tut exhibit and it's been in heavy rotation ever since (My kids, probably like other kids, enjoy rereading favorites.) It's short but chock full of interesting details about the discovery of King Tut's tomb. I really enjoyed it myself and think it was well done. Reading level is likely 7-9 years, but the younger kids will enjoy being read to as well. It's not scary- really more informative and leads to an understanding that there is no evidence to support the notion of a curse on the tomb.
Someday I'll have the entires set
fun informational book
