Tutankhamun was a boy-king who lived in Egypt over 3,000 years ago. The surprise discovery of his unplundered tomb in 1922 made him an instant celebrity and one of ancient Egypt's most famous rulers. Discovered by archaeologist Howard Carter, Tut's burial site contained furniture, jewelry, sculpture, and other rare and beautiful objects, as well as the mummy itself, adorned with a golden death mask. This carefully researched collection of 30 ready-to-color illustrations depicts many authentic relics from the tomb, as well as images from the life of King Tut. Among these scenes are views of the beautiful Queen Nefertiti, looking in on the royal children; the magnificent temple at Karnak; daily activities at the royal palace; the crowning of Tutankhamun at the age of eight; and his death some ten years later. An excellent source of Egyptian pictorial design, as well as information about ancient Egypt, this volume will delight colorists and anyone fascinated by the magnificent civilization that flourished along the Nile so many centuries ago.

Travel back in time to herd these bewildered dinosaurs to their destinations.

These easy mazes are geared toward kids ages 4 to 8, and complete solutions guarantee that no one will be trapped in the prehistoric past.

Colossal and teensy, swift and sluggish, these mammals tend to extremes. Thirty illustrations with detailed captions portray remarkable creatures of past and present, from extinct cousins of the rhinoceros to modern-day kangaroos, bats, and elephants. All bear extraordinary characteristics — oversized claws and fangs, giant snouts, multiple horns, and other incredible features.

Everyone who loves horses will be amazed to see the many forms these magnificent creatures have taken since their first appearance over 50 million years ago. Thirty beautifully rendered, realistic pictures include the familiar animals of today, ancient breeds of the Eocene and Miocene eras, and even the very first horse--which was no bigger than a house cat!

If you love the ocean, you'll really enjoy this activity book! There are rocky shorelines to explore, as well as sandy and pebbled beaches, cliffs, and other seaside landforms.

Colorful stickers light the way for amazing sea creatures! There's a giant squid here, a bat starfish, a shark, and a striped clownfish, too. You'll also find a curious ratfish, jellyfish, crab, octopus, and four other creatures of the deep. Use the stickers to decorate school projects or add them to a scrapbook. Best of all, because they glow in the dark, you can enjoy these peel-and-apply swimmers even when the lights go out.
