Bill And Pete Go Down The Nile by Tomie dePaola

Recommended for Ages 4+

Video Summary

It’s a new school year, and Bill and Pete are back for a new adventure. Their teacher, Ms. Ibis is taking all the little crocodiles (and their toothbrushes) on a class trip to the Royal Museum. As they swim down the Nile, they pass the Sphinx, learn about mummies, pharaohs, sarcophagus and even visit the pyramids. But who’s that, trying to steal the Sacred Eye of Isis? It’s the Bad Guy! Bill and Pete save the day by turning the Bad Guy into a mummy.
