This lively, illustrated volume introduces readers [to] the culture of ancient Egyptians by focusing on the work that they did. After a brief historical introduction, 15 chapters look at different job categories, including the military, the government, monument building, assisting the pharaoh, and entertainment. Illustrated with lots of playful cartoon characters, the text is interactive (What would you do?), but the chatty tone sometimes feels distracting. Getting ready for the afterlife was a big deal, for example, and the khopesh sword was dandy for chopping off heads. But the browsable format will introduce readers to the densely detailed social history about artisans, service jobs, miners, wet nurses, and much more, to say nothing of the gory specifics of removing the body's internal organs to mummify a corpse., Do school libraries need another book about ancient Egypt? When it is this book -- a resounding yes! Whereas many titles on ancient Egypt feature the lives of the pharaohs and the monuments they built, Butcher's book gives much information often not discussed in others on the topic. This title details the lives of those who actually built and decorated these monuments as well as those that served the pharaoh in many capacities. That it does so in such a fresh, amusing, and interesting way makes this book a must-have in all school libraries. Written in an easy-going informal style, this is a title that will certainly grab children's attention and maintain their interest... Kristin butcher is a prolific and versatile, award-winning writer who has produced 12 novels for a variety of age ranges and interests. The genres and topics include fantasy, sports, science, and mystery. Pharaohs and Foot Soldiers is a departure as it is nonfiction yet contains much evidence that she is a skilled writer. Highly Recommended., This is the fourth in a series of books that explore occupations in ancient times. This volume focuses on Egypt 5000 years ago, describing 100 jobs that would have been common in the days of pharaohs and pyramids. The book begins with a short introductory section which provides information about this period in history; the remaining pages are devoted to half- or one-page discussions about particular jobs, grouped into fifteen chapters with titles such as Army Jobs, Government Jobs, Artisan Jobs, etc. The text speaks directly to the reader, as if describing his/her own occupation, in a light-hearted style that helps to bring the historical information to life. The cartoon-like illustrations contribute to the enjoyment of reading the text, often adding a touch of humour. Sidebars provide additional, supporting information on many pages. The simple page lay-up and short job profiles make this book easily accessible as a source of information for Social Studies projects or simply browsing out of interest., Do school libraries need another book about ancient Egypt? When it is this book -- a resounding yes!... Highly Recommended., This book will appeal to advanced upper elementary children and middle school students who are researching life in ancient Egypt. The cartoon-like illustrations grab their attention and keep the mood light. The occupations are listed in a table of contents that breaks them down into categories...They are described with just the right amount of detail and interesting asides.... If your students research this time period, it would be useful in the school and public library collection., This book will appeal to advanced upper elementary children and middle school students who are researching life in ancient Egypt.

Synopsis
Imagine being an interpreter of dreams in ancient Egypt. What was the daily grind like for the ancient Egyptians? Imagine it's your job to carve elaborate tombs out of rock formations (it will take years to do) or man an army outpost in the extreme heat of the desert. You might have worked transporting some of the over 2 million stones for the Great Pyramid or engineered irrigation projects along the Nile. Pharaohs and Foot Soldiers offers an innovative look at the jobs that kept Ancient Egypt running for 3,000 years. Among the 100 careers profiled you'll also find reed cutters (who worked naked), sandal makers (many went barefoot) and even embalmers (pulling out organs took special training). Whether prestigious or poor, Egyptians had to be tough, trustworthy, stealthy and skilled to get by. Complete with a fact-filled introduction, a comprehensive timeline and playful illustrations throughout, Pharaohs and Foot Soldiers will inspire readers to imagine how they may have lived out their days as a member of one of history's most fascinating civilizations.
