"An illuminating account of an early genius." – Kirkus

"If Excellence Was a Person! I have never read a historical children's book that had such an engaging story. The author made it so real, we felt like we were there in the time of Imhotep and that he would pop out of nowhere and start talking to us. It really opened my eyes to the way of life in ancient Egypt, and I can honestly say I will never think of the pyramids and mummies the same way again!" – Reader

"Informative and fun to read. The illustrations in this book are amazing! They are colorful and engaging, and they help with the flow of the story. There is a lot of information provided, but not so much that it would overwhelm the student. I really liked the defined terms at the beginning of the book instead of the end - it helps give an idea to what is coming. My child was able to read the book and easily give me a synopsis of what he read." -- Reader
