Scratch-and-sniff panels waft the reader back in time to the aromas of ancient Egypt, from fragrant pharaohs in their palaces, to sweaty labourers building the pyramids. The text is informative and the pungent panels are combined with artwork, poems and puzzles to provide a sense of the past. This book is part of a children's series which brings history to your nostrils through scratch-and-sniff panels with smells typical of the period.
