Rosetta Stone is an interesting archaeology title and part of a series for primary school readers, Digging Up the Past. This volume is by Trudy Becker. Released 1st Aug 2025 by North Star Editions on their Apex imprint, it's 32 pages and will be available in library binding and paperback formats.
This is a well written set of illustrated books aimed at early readers (~7-9 years). Simple text and full page photographs explain some of the background, discovery, and importance of the Rosetta stone to our current understanding of Ancient Egyptian language, culture, and life.
This would be a superlative choice for public or school library acquisition. The author/publisher have included a simple glossary, a few discussion questions, and some links to more information and further learning. It would also make a good addition to the home library, especially for science interested youngsters. The series covers lots of interesting topics in archaeology, natural history, and anthropology in understandable accessible language.
Four stars. Well written, clearly illustrated, and age appropriate.
Disclosure: I received an ARC at no cost from the author/publisher for review purposes.
