Our Process
Four decades of experience have taught us a thing or two about creating curriculum that works. Here’s how we do it.
The Golden Goblet - by Eloise Jarvis McGraw
1962 Newbery Honor Title - Beautiful Feet Books
Orphaned Egyptian boy, left in the care of his older brother, desires to learn the trade of the goldsmith in whose shop he serves. The older brother, who suddenly shows the trappings of wealth, has plans to instead apprentice the boy to stonecutters. Excellent introduction to the every-day lives of Egyptian tradespeople as they toiled to build the pyramids. Also includes an exciting trip to the Valley of the Kings and the bane of Egyptian pharaohs, tomb robbers!

My 8 year old girl and 10 year old boy both LOVED this book. They would beg me to keep reading it aloud.
My daughter enjoyed this book, I'm looking forward to reading it with my sons next year.
This is a great story! We really loved reading it aloud!
My son enjoyed this book, as he usually does when the main character is a boy his age. It was an easy read for a 6th grader.
