How To Be an Egyptian Princess is part of a series published by National Geographic. The book opens with an advertisement for a princess, information about where to apply for the job and a brief introduction about traveling back in time to Ancient Egypt to learn more about the job. Readers learn all about the life of an Egyptian princess. The book is full of information about family life, palace life, clothes and the life of Egyptian royalty. The book ends with a brief quiz to see if the reader is qualified for the job. I think the concept of the book is fun but the text is a bit dry and the illustrations are very bland. The You Wouldn’t Want to Be… series is much better. That series is more fun and presents history in a more interesting way. I would recommend You Wouldn’t Want to be Cleopatra as a much more appealing book about Ancient Egyptian royal life.
