Accelerated Reading Level: 3.2
If you teach a unit on Ancient Egypt, this may be a perfect text to introduce the subject as well as the topic of friendship. This story is told from Queen Hatshepsut's cat's point of view. As it awakens from the dead and travels through the pyramid to check on his beloved friend, the Queen, the cat recounts their life together. The illustrations include actual hieroglyphics and a background story. The author includes additional facts about the Ancient Egyptians and the mummification process at the end of the book. This would make and excellent mentor text to have students sort out fact from fiction.
