I love Tomie de Paola. Visiting Egypt gave me an excuse to read this story to the kids for the 150th time.
I, recently returned from Egypt.  We  wanted the kids to learn a little and still have fun.  They looked through some of my pictures as well as videos from Egypt. Pink Suitcase Adventures
We all had a blast talking about mummies. YES, we still utilized the toilet paper and it did not go to waste.
