Within New York City's Metropolitan Museum of Art, the sphinx of the Pharaoh Hatshepsut holds court. But how did this ancient artifact get to the museum?

This is essential reading for junior Egyptologists!

This is a great book that allows for children to see how the Sphinx was transported to a museum. Both the illustrations and the vocabulary used in the book is very appropriate.
