POM BOOK WEEK

It's NEW BOOK WEEK at Pomegranate and each day of this week we are going to introduce to a different new title and what a debut we have, with Pomegranate's first ever children's book!

HIEROGLYPHS


Hieroglyphs from A to Z is the first book published by PomegranateKids™, an imprint of Pomegranate Communications, in collaboration with the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston. With bold graphics, charming, rhyming text, and solid educational content, it explains the hieroglyphic code while imparting important facts about ancient Egypt. As an added bonus, a separate sheet of stencils is provided, slipped inside the back cover, so that kids can easily draw their own hieroglyphs. All told, this is the perfect book for any small visitor to a museum with Egyptian artifacts, or for any child who simply loves words and pictures.

Here's a glimpse inside:


Two Very Cool Things About This Book:

1. The author, Peter Der Manuelian, is interested in using the tools of the future to study the past, and combined his hand-drawn hieroglyphic artwork with a computer to produce this book.

2.  The book includes a sheet of punch-out stencils of hieroglyphs so that children can learn to spell their own name in Hieroglyphics.

 Size: 8½ x 10¼ x 3/8 inches. Smyth-sewn casebound book. ISBN 978-0

Available from sales@pomeurope.co.uk

£10.99/13.50 Euro
