How the Sphinx Got to the Museum

32 pp. | Blue Apple | October, 2010 | Trade ISBN 978-1-60905-032-0 $17.99
(3) K-3 The process of how an artifact--in this case, an Egyptian Sphinx--ends up in a museum is explained to a group of visiting children. From "ordered by the pharaoh" to "repaired by the conservators," no step is left unexplored; textured cartoon illustrations help illuminate the events. This thorough discussion of the archaeological and curatorial processes will satisfy young historians.
