My eight-year-old daughter and I have been following the exploits of Chihuahua pup Bella and her younger brother Harry for some time now and this is Book Four in their adventures. This time, the adventurous siblings visit Egypt, together with their human family. The books in the series do a wonderful job of introducing children to the delights of travel, learning about other cultures, and experiencing the wonders of the world at large.In "Let's Visit Cairo!", Bella and Harry begin the Egyptian tour by visiting the Pyramids of Giza which are over 4,500 years old. As they trek through the desert, Harry learns about camels and how they store their fat, which enables them to go for long periods of time without food. They then visit the Great Sphinx and adorable little Harry daydreams about becoming a pharaoh! The illustration depicting Harry in pharaoh garb is really cute and will have children exclaiming out loud. The siblings travel to other places of interest such as The Museum of Antiquities where they learn about mummies and King Tut before they go off to explore the Valley of the Kings located in Luxor, Egypt. Here the siblings learn about the great pharaoh Ramesses II or Ramesses the Great and what hieroglyphics are.The siblings also learn other things about Egyptian culture such as the food and some common phrases in Arabic. The accompanying illustrations provide young readers with a colorful portrait of this exotic land of pharaohs and will inspire young children to learn more about Egypt, its history, and its customs. My daughter and I look forward to reading more about Bella and Harry's global adventures!
This series is fantastic. I started it for my 4 year old neighbor, some for her birthday, Halloween (Greece because she was a greek goddess), some at Christmas, and then one on Valentine's day. When she opened her present her eyes lit up. Her mom says she loves to learn and go on adventures with Bella & Harry. Will be purchasing the rest of the series for her!
I work as a school librarian in a K-12 school and my elementary students just loved Bella and Harry. I got 8 of the books in the library and set them out on the shelves and they were all checked out within the first 3 days of being put up. The art in the books is very well-drawn and gives the reader a feel for the country the dogs are visiting. At the same time the illustrations are very colorful and perfect for making a young kid want to pick it up. The books are stocked with information about the different country the main characters are visiting. This information is presented in a fun and engaging conversation between the two cute dogs, Bella and Harry. This book series is one younger children would enjoy for the pictures and the fun characters, but it is also one slightly older children would find useful and informative in learning about different countries and places around the world.
This was bought for a 9 year old granddaughter for her birthday. She loves the adventures of Bella and Harry. The books are well written and pictures are colors. She even asked for this one because she didn't know anything about Cairo and wanted to learn about it.
Bella and Harry Let's Visit Cairo!, by Lisa Manzione is the newest book in the adventure series of two lovable chihuahua puppy siblings who travel the world together with their 'people.' In the Let's Visit Cairo! edition, these pups travel on the backs of camels and have the opportunity to visit the Sphinx, and King Tut's tomb, among other notable attractions within the region. As always, these books inspire a love for travel while educating and broadening horizons for young readers. The Bella and Harry books are excellent as stand alone book selections, or would be especially rewarding as a collection.
