About This Book
A parent would reach for this book when their child begins asking big questions about the physical world, specifically how humans can achieve the seemingly impossible through collaboration and persistence. It is a perfect choice for a child who loves to take things apart to see how they work or who is fascinated by the sheer scale of ancient history. This Usborne guide moves beyond simple dates and pharaohs to focus on the grit and ingenuity of the everyday workers who built the Great Pyramids. Through detailed illustrations and clear, accessible text, the book highlights themes of teamwork, engineering, and the pride of craftsmanship. It is ideally suited for children ages 7 to 11, offering enough complexity to satisfy a deep interest in STEM and history while remaining digestible for independent readers. Parents will appreciate how it demystifies complex construction techniques and introduces social structures in a secular, informative way.
