4-6Ken Jennings' Junior Genius Guides series.
Illustrated by
Mike Lowery.
In this installment, former Jeopardy! champ Jennings concentrates on the ancient Egyptians. The breezy collection of facts is organized by themes and further divided into subcategories, though lack of an index and uninformative chapter titles ("Third Period"; "Recess") makes navigation difficult. Cartoony black-and-white illustrations on each page add levity to the subject matter. "Official Junior Genius Certification Exam" included.
