Booklist

Library Media Connection

“This is a good series to introduce a variety of stories to young readers who are interested in folklore, fairy tales, and mythology.”

The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books

“This glossy comic-book-style entry is visually arresting and appealingly quick, making for an accessible introduction to an Egyptian unit. . . Witt’s pencil and ink drawings are vividly colored, creating a bright, rich desert-scape and reinforcing the emotionally taut lives of the characters.”
