review:
'Nile Crossing' by Katy Beebe with illustrations by Sally Wem Comport is a picture book telling an unusual version of a first day of school story.

Young Khepri lives with his family in ancient Egypt. He spends his days fishing with his father, but today is a different day. Today Khepri will cross the Nile with his father and enter the city of Thebes.

The story kind of ends, but there is some after story with more history and a glossary. The illustrations are really very interesting. They have a kind of old Egyptian feel to them. The story tells a historical sort of story with familiar elements. I really liked this story for younger readers.

I received a review copy of this ebook from Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing Company and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this ebook.
