Ancient Egyptian Fashions Coloring Book (Dover Fashion Coloring Book)

They don't speak of the Goddess Isis Osiris wife who I am named after, I am assuming because of the terrorist group but the Goddess Isis is way older than they are..she is just nameless and simply stated Queen

I ordered this book and the other, "Ancient Egyptian Costumes, Paper Dolls" by the same author, not for the coloring book and paper dolls, but because of the clear and simple depictions of the ancient Egyptian costumes, both in black and white and in color. My reason for buying these books, when I discovered them at Amazon.com, was not only for education, but for the ability to see exactly how the costumes, hair styles, shoes and accesories looked. Many books have templates of Ancient Egyptian dress, but most are difficult to interpret for my purposes. My hobby is making and dressing dolls, and these books are invaluable to me to be able to draft and create patterns and fit them to the individual dolls I am dressing. Author Tom Tierney has produced just the right blend in his artistic renditions to give me the creative help I needed. These two books will be cherished additions to my doll dressing research library. Thank you Mr. Tierney, and thank you Amazon!

This book is a great way to see what clothing was worn from slave to pharaoh. I teach ELD 6th grade and we cover ancient civilizations and it's really hard my students to picture the people so I was hoping to use this book for visuals. Since clothes were not as modest as now I unfortunately won't be able to show the pictures that have bare or detailed breasts even though that's how they were. So the con for me is I can't use all of the pictures for what I intended. I will probably buy the Greek one as well but I assume I will have the same issue.

This will be a good book to use in my classroom. However, I have to take points off because of the boobs. Both women AND men have exposed nipples, in *some* pictures. Other times, there is an implied chest, which is more tasteful. That being said, why do all the women need to be so well endowed? Couldn't some women be curvy, and some be flat chested? Just thoughts I had while flipping through this book. Most of it will be very useful!

I love all the details that went into this book. And as for side boobs, who cares? It's not as if it's full of full frontal nudity, or anything like that.Besides, back then, in THAT climate, you went naked a lot of the time; especially if you were poor or a slave. It was just a fact of life.It's not as if this book is depicting any kind of graphic sex! THAT would be gross! But side boobies? Boobs are simply overly enlarged sweat glands meant for two things; attracting mates and feeding babies. That is IT!

This color book is more then just a color book. It's also educational with little tid bits about the designs and so on. It's going to make a great fun addition to our ancient Egypt unit study!

The Following are great Books and few games that certianly are worth it buying and very rich with Wisdom Technics and step by step guidences the only major concern was that mostly all books the games and PSP console were left on front door by carrier, and I have two jobs which makes it hard to be at home waiting for UPS to arrive and some Neighbords might feel tempted..

When I first saw this coloring book I didn't think I would enjoy coloring in it. I was wrong-turns out it is pretty cool. Simple pictures but many different options to choose. I like it!

This is quite a good colouring book - the figures are well done if a little repetitive - I mean the faces are all the same as are most of the poses. Maybe some kneeling or in a dance pose might have broken the same old same old.However the price is very good as there are plenty of pages to choose from.

looks great, a present for someone else

Bought as gift,much enjoyed.

Original and accurate drawing book for children. It consists on pages with blank drawings to be colored, all of which mimic real Egyptian ancient drawings. An amazing way to approach real Egyptian costumes. I wish there was a bit more text or a guide for teachers and parents, though, so that we could give some explanation to the children.

Cute and easy to read.
