Pharoah’s Boat by David Weitzman


Weitzman, David Pharoah’s Boat. Houghton Mifflin, 2009. PICTURE BOOK. In 1954, archaeologists working in Egypt found a discrepancy in the walls of a pyramid. With careful exploration, they revealed, unearthed and then reassembled a full-scale boat, made for and buried with Cheops in his great pyramid. Students who are enthralled with Egypt and the pyramids will appreciate the amount of detail contained in this picture book. While it has no photographs, the illustrations are well done.
