The layout of this series is especially useful for middle-school research. The book is divided into three parts: a 14-page biography summarizing the highlights of Hatshepsut's life, including her Punt Expedition; a collection of sections ranging from 2 to 6 pages long covering various aspects of everyday life in Egypt; and a section of primary sources, which includes two popular Ancient Egyptian stories: "The Tale of a Shipwrecked Sailor" and "The Tale of the Doomed Prince". A good overview of Hatshepsut and the times in which she lived. ( )
