Hardcover
(Franklin Watts Ltd Feb. 28, 2001)
Follow the adventures of Ptoni, his 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 fifth and sixth 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 JINXED SPHINX All Dad has to trade is a damaged sphinx. But when a trio of dancing girls hitch a lift on his boat - things start and look up! The newly named group - The Sphinxy Minxes - are asked to perform at an important feast to mark the passing of General Plonkitandbumpit, and it's up to Ptoni to make sure of success.
