Readerful Independent Library: Oxford Reading Level 8: Animals in Ancient Egypt

The ancient Egyptians kept pets, just like we do. However, they were a bit more unusual - as well as cats and dogs, they had mongooses and falcons. There were even crocodiles in their temples! This book looks at the animals found in daily life in ancient Egypt, plus the roles that gods with animal heads played in their religion. This book is from Readerful's Independent Library. It is for children aged 6 to 7 to read without support. Readerful is a reading library specially designed to motivate children to read more.
