Hello, Egypt! is an educational children's picture book written by Ekaterina Otiko with illustrations by José Gascón. It follows Sophie and Stephie, the Travel Sisters, as they explore Egypt. Although they live in California, the two sisters love to travel with their pets and their magical globe, Globik. Upon arriving in Cairo, the capital of Egypt, they meet their new friend Ali and greet him in Arabic, the country's official language. Globik assigns them a special mission to find a treasure. Their first task is to locate five golden hieroglyphs scattered around Egypt's main landmarks. Join the sisters on this amazing adventure and learn about Egypt's rich history, iconic sites, and cultural heritage.
Hello, Egypt! is the eleventh book in the Sophie and Stephie: The Travel Sisters series by Ekaterina Otiko. The story is informative and features an exciting and suspenseful plot. While many people recognize Egypt for the famous pyramids of Giza, the country has much more to offer, and this book highlights these lesser-known treasures. Readers will discover beautiful markets and gardens, various deserts, such as the White Desert, which was once a sea that dried up, and delicious cuisine. The engaging storyline includes word pronunciation guides and text boxes filled with fun facts about the subjects mentioned. Sophie and Stephie are adorable characters, dressed in cute Egyptian outfits. They are adventurous girls you can't help but love. The colorful illustrations show Egypt's unique architecture, its famous natural and man-made landmarks, and the diverse animals found in its seas and rivers. Overall, this is a wonderful read, and I highly recommend sharing it with children to spark their interest in exploring and learning about the world's wonders.
