With poetic language and striking illustrations, Weitzman tells the story of how one of the greatest boats of ancient Egypt came to be built and built again.

In the shadow of the Great Pyramid at Giza, the most skilled shipwrights in all of Egypt are building an enormous vessel that will transport Cheops, the mighty pharaoh, across the winding waterway and into a new world. Pharaoh's boat will be a wonder to behold, and well prepared for the voyage ahead. But no one, not even the Egyptian king himself, could have imagined just where the journey of Pharaoh's boat would ultimately lead.

Double gatefold at the end, a four page spread measuring over 40 inches, showcasing Pharaoh's boat.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great living book!

Good used book, but the binding was not in the best shape. This story is a great living book that uncovers very interesting ancient boat building techniques and how they were discovered. Even my 3 year old was intrigued with this true story.

Our 5-year old grandson “could give a very detailed description” of this book, says his father, so it seems to be a hit.

5.0 out of 5 stars Pharaoh's boat.
Reviewed in the United States on December 19, 2009

Having been to see this very boat in the museum at the Pyramid in Egypt I can vouch for this book's accuracy. It is intensely interesting to learn how they hand-made such a boat centuries ago, and the tools they had to use. The reconstruction of the boat after its remains were discovered is fantastic. The culture and beliefs of that time are extremely interesting. The book is magnificent.

Excellent book! So fun and detailed accurately for young or old looking to learn more about Egyptian history. The mechanics inside the hull of the boat are amazing, technical, and so sophisticated for the time. Brilliant people. Beautiful writing...the author and illustrations, superb.

Missing in the description a fundamental fact about this book: It is a children's book. Beautiful illustrations and narrative addressed to the youngers.
If this was clearly stated I wouldn't buy it. So in spite of my respect for the author's work, I feel cheated.
