Paperback
(Franklin Watts Ltd Nov. 16, 2007)
FOllow the adventures of Ptoni, has Dad and the cat, Ptiddles, on their leaky old trading boat. They sail up and down the Nile trying to earn a living bartering any produce they can get their hands on. Dad is a useless businessman and the crew are the laziest group of layabouts ever to get on a boat, so it's up to Ptoni to see things through. These funny, joke-packed books are the seventh and eighth in the series. Cartoon illustrations add to the humour and enhance the text. A special section at the back of the book gives notes on interesting facts about everyday life. A humorous introduction to life in Ancient Egypt. THE WOBBLY OBELISK - Dad hasn't paid his taxes, so his boat is impounded and he and the lads are forced to join the gang of workers, led by architect Breezbloc, toiling on a memorial to Pharaoh Armenlegup. But when erected, the memorial obelisk wobbles and Dad is sentenced to beheading! It's up to Ptoni to sort things out.
