Hieroglyphs from A to Z and Hieroglyps from A to Z Memory Game
Peter Der Manuelian
Book: Hardcover, 48 pages; 2010 (1991)
This lavishly illustrated children's book features a colorful reproduction of an ancient hieroglyph and a playful rhyme for each letter of the English alphabet. Curious little readers will also find the hieroglyphic version of each letter, as well as a word spelled in the pictorial language. Interesting tidbits about ancient Egyptian history and culture are sprinkled throughout the pages, and there are even stencils of the hieroglyphic alphabet included, so youngsters can spell out their names and other words in the ancient script. The book is for ages 4 to 8. The coordinating Memory Game offers fifty-two 2½"-square cards (twenty-six pairs)--each featuring an English-alphabet letter and a full-color hieroglyph--as well as an informational booklet. What a fun way for players of all ages to test their memory skills and learn about one of the oldest writing systems in the world.
