Description:“But Bastet did not follow. She stopped outside the door. She sat. She thought. She remembered everything she and Sabah had heard about Tutankhamun’s mask. The dazzling gold! The ebony eyes! The jeweled cobra! The brilliant inlays of lapis-lazuli and quartz and obsidian! And in her mind’s eye she saw, staring up at Tutankhamun, two scrawny cats, one golden and one spotted. That was her dream, after all. Not just to see the mask, but to see it with Sabah. Together. How disloyal she had been to Sabah!” Double Tap to ZOOM to enlarge type Fully Illustrated Version Picture Book for reading with the younger child – ages 3-6 This version of BASTET includes all the luminous illustrations just waiting to enchant children of any age, and especially the read-to set. If the text only version is better for your needs, then please click on BASTET in the Text-Only Version for the serious young reader – ages 6-9. Happy reading in either Version. BEING A LOYAL FRIEND In far away Cairo, allegiance between friends is put to the test. Among the cats that live in the streets of Cairo are two friends, Bastet and Sabah. Their lives are not easy, but they have their small pleasures, their dreams, and each other. Their fondest dream is to visit the Egyptian Museum and there see the mask of the Pharaoh Tutankhamun. Bastet and Sabah know it is unlikely that two homeless cats will ever be allowed inside the museum, but the possibility is a treasure they share. Then, unexpectedly, Bastet is offered the chance to visit the museum-courtesy of her new "friend," Khufu. There's only one problem: Khufu insists that Sabah not be included in the adventure. Linda Talley's narrative unfolds with the richness of a Persian rug, like those sold in the Khan el-Khalili, the world's oldest marketplace and home to Bastet and Sabah. Illustrator Itoko Maeno takes us on a stunning tour of Cairo-through the crowded bazaars, along the banks of the Nile River, and, finally, to the Egyptian Museum and the treasures of the boy pharaoh, Tutankhamun. The moving story of Bastet, Sabah, and Khufu will dramatize for readers young and old the importance of allegiance between friends. A SURPRISE and added bonus is the "Enrichment Information" which includes lots of facts about Cairo, the Mosques, Feluccas, Galabias, Bazaars, Mummies, Gods and Goddesses, Bastet, The Cat in Ancient Egypt, and best of all, Tutankhamun. This is fascinating detail that did not make it into the story itself, but is very rich in interesting description. A second big plus is the "Letter to Parents and Educators" which includes many relevant questions and comments to facilitate conversation with young readers about the message of the story...the importance of loyalty between friends. So even though on the surface this is just an engaging story for children, it is also truly helpful in a real way. MAKING THE CASE FOR CHARACTER EDUCATION If you are tired of bullying, teasing, youth violence, gangs, vandalism, drug abuse, sexual misconduct… If you are tired of the crisis with our older youth… If you want to help make a difference one tiny step at a time… Then this is the eBook for your children ages 3-9.
