Product Description:
Twins Matt and Bibi accompany their parents to Egypt on an archaeological dig. When they are trapped in a pyramid, they must follow the hieroglyphic symbols to find the burial chamber and a way out. The hieroglyphics are made out of geometric solid symbols instead of traditional ciphers. As the twins follow clues that tell them to look for shapes with different numbers of faces, they talk about the geometric solids they encounter. It's not a thorough review of geometric solids, but it's a fun introduction that kids will enjoy, with full-color illustrations, puns and humor. By Cindy Neuschwander, 32 pgs, pb. ~ Rachel
