Reviews for Ancient Egypt: Open Up a World of Information!

"Booklist 1st October 2023 ""This volume of the Factology series (4 titles) jauntily skips along through the history and culture of ancient Egypt. It will be most appreciated by visual learners and browsers, who can easily jump around as different topics catch their fancy. The first chapter, ""Epic Egypt,"" is a hodgepodge of interesting accolades and trivia, touching on ancient Egyptians' early advances in medicine, their love of art, and ""Cleopatra's Beauty Secrets."" Religion and funerary practices are examined in the second chapter, and the third (and final) chapter is devoted to Egyptology and important discoveries. Highly visual, this fact-packed offering utilizes a plethora of photos, digital art, diagrams, and maps."" @mrsbrownsbookbox Instagram review https: //www.instagram.com/p/CwhOvjhKJu1/ ""My class are huge fans of the Great Lives in Graphics books and I know that this new Factology series (this one is part of a series of 4 books) will be snapped up immediately too. Similar in its graphic style, this utterly absorbing book presents so much information in an engaging way, through timelines, fact files, diagrams, photos, 'did you know..?' and '...in numbers' boxes and much much more. There's also jokes, hidden items and activities interspersed throughout and a quiz at the end that make you look, think and test your knowledge too!"" Imagination Soup 1st November 2023 https: //imaginationsoup.net/new-nonfiction-books-october-2023/ ""Move over National Geographic Kids, Button Books is about to knock you off your pedestal. The factology book series excelled in eye-catching design and tons of facts... kids will love pouring over all of these cool facts!"" @play.to.learn.with.katy Instagram review https: //www.instagram.com/p/Cy72jDCssOn/ ""Factology is a brand new series of fact-packed information books. Each volume provides a fast-paced and fun introduction to its subject, explaining key concepts and highlighting significant events in a manner that is clear, accessible and entertaining."" @picturebookplaydate Instagram review https: //www.instagram.com/p/CzhFqPwvsMy/?img_index=1 ""...All four of these books [Ancient Egypt, Space, Bugs, The Human Body] are absolute nonfiction stars. Seriously, I could go on and on about these books. The graphics are incredibly eye-catching...There is so much information packed into these pages - and there are activities included in the books as well!"" @mrsbrownsbookbox Instagram review https: //www.instagram.com/p/CzW2PFhqVbj/?img_index=1 ""If, like me, you're a huge fan of the Great Lives in Graphics series, then you'll love these new Factology titles. They are presented in a similarly engaging infographic style, including timelines, maps, statistics and illustrated facts, but are designed for slightly older readers [8]] which is seen in the denser text. They're also fantastic models for publishing non-fiction written pieces."" @picturebookrecommendations Instagram review https: //www.instagram.com/p/CzeAi6PLd6f/?img_index=1 ""FANTASTIC SERIES ALERT! I had to wrangle these away from my 8-year-old long enough to review them - highly recommend. They are fascinating, fun, detailed and perfect for curious littles! Which would the kiddo in your life reach for first?⁠"" @raising_bookworms Instagram review https: //www.instagram.com/p/Cxxxss7q7zi/ ""Throwing the series spotlight this week on the brand new Factology information books from @gmcpublications. Unlock the greatest secrets, delve beneath the surface, travel back in time and open up a world of information. Presented in a concise and accessible way with a super visual format filled with maps, timelines, quizzes and stats, all set amongst the immersive artwork and photography."" @family_book_club_ Instagram review https: //www.instagram.com/p/CxpjrZegg7q/ ""Each of these books is brilliant to pick up and dip into but I can see that each book will also be such a valuable resource as my children go through KS2 and KS3. They would make a great addition to a school library."" @stylishmodernmotherhood Instagram review https: //www.instagram.com/p/Cy6MZZardxW/?igshid=NWpjdzdlM3ZsaGx3 ""A new educational series that opens up a whole world of information. It is illustrated non-fiction mini-encyclopedias that introduces to a variety of exciting & engaging #STEM & historical subjects."" @houstonlibraryfinds Instagram review https: //www.instagram.com/p/CzmKeR1v4L9/?img_index=1 ""I especially loved large pages full of actual photos, statistics, maps, and timelines. This series has all of that!"" @misswynnreads__ Instagram review https: //www.instagram.com/p/CzijiX9L57u/?img_index=1 ""I think these are absolutely brilliant for classrooms, as well as libraries. They are beautifully illustrated and full of amazing facts and subject knowledge."" @kidscornerbookclub Instagram review https: //www.instagram.com/p/CzWC-M_A7JO/ ""The Factology series is phenomenal! These books are jam-packed with facts, visuals, and fascinating scientific information for young learners. Each book is like a mini encyclopedia on the topic."" @mini.midnight.reads Instagram review https: //www.instagram.com/p/CzijiX9L57u/?img_index=1 ""Each [Factology book] is filled with graphics, facts, photographs and even a quiz to test your knowledge at the end, should you wish! Each also has a handful of activity suggestions sprinkled throughout."""
