Good but one major flaw

If you are getting this for "reluctant readers," you will find that this has clearly written text and easy on the eyes drawings, and may be a help for teaching Ancient Egyptian history because of this. However, the artist assigns word balloons that should read left-to-right in one panel, then right-to-left in a few, the down-to-up--you get the idea. For people struggling with reading in the first place this will cause fatigue and self-blame ("I can't make sense of this thing!") I look forward to more of this series, especially if the artist makes up his mind.
