Industry Reviews
Gr 2-5 While viewing a film about the building of the Great Pyramids of Egypt at the Smithsonian's National Museum of Natural History, Kevin is transported into King Khufu's burial chamber in the Great Pyramid as it is being built over 4,000 years ago. This book and tape introduce students to the building of the Great Pyramid through Kevin's eyes. Narration of this adventure and Kevin's thoughts are read by a male narrator whose voice resonates on the tape. Realistic sound effects add to the story. Because the narrator does not follow the text exactly, this may be a confusing read-along. The historical facts, procedures, and vocabulary in the story are accurate. Kevin's thoughts are expressed in slang and shown in italics in the book. Included at the end of the book are a brief glossary and a few additional facts about the Great Pyramid. The book's watercolor illustrations produce a sense of being in there. As ancient prophecy tells of their coming and saving Elidor and its treasures, Malebron sends the children back to their world to safeguard the treasures. Roland leads the children on their fateful and often dangerous quest. Full of requisite fantasy elements, this story regales listeners with tales of singing unicorns, dark and evil forces, far-off castles, and the heroic adventures of a young boy. Reader Garard Green (of BBC fame) has a clear, strong voice suitable for this tale. Since the story is heavy on dialogue, he only changes voices slightly. His British accent is easy to understand. This fantasy could make new fans of the genre, and should entertain those already familiar with this type of tale. Angela J. Reynolds, West Slope Community Library Washington Co., OR
