This leveled reader is a "Blastoff! Reader" and part of the "Exploring Countries" series. Leveled a step five book, this title encourages children to "read to learn." Building on skills developed in the first four levels, this book has more text, different writing styles, and deals with a topic less familiar to most young readers. Information presented covers geographical details such as square mileage of Egypt and what countries and bodies of water border the country. Other areas covered include topography, the importance of the Nile River, wildlife, and the people of Egypt. The lives of Egyptians are also discussed, including how they get to work or school, their food, their homes, their jobs, and what they do in their free time. A small section teaches readers how to speak some common words in Arabic, such as yes, no, and please. Back matter includes fast facts about Egypt, a glossary, suggested further reading, and a link to a web site for more research. Most information is presented in a single or occasionally a double-page spread. Bright full-color pictures of animals, the desert, sprawling cities, street markets, and more enhance the text. Durable and easy to hold, this title is engaging and thorough without being overwhelming. Nineteen other volumes, all at level five, round out this expansive series. Though the recommended age rage is five to ten, readers in the middle of this spectrum will likely be the target audience. Reviewer: Amanda MacGregor
