The Land of the Pharaohs From the Pyramids to the Valley of the Kings-in the April issue of AQUILA children can investigate Egypt’s amazing history and follow the River Nile as it winds south through wilderness and steamy rainforests. AQUILA is unique in the world of children’s publishing: its thoughtful and intelligent topics are so well written and researched you will probably enjoy reading the articles yourself. SPECIAL ISSUE WITH EXTRA PAGES The inventive ancient Egyptians left quite a mark on history. They developed hieroglyphs and an early type of paper, so they’re indirectly responsible for this page you are reading now. You can add to this the first solar calendar, water dams, big ideas about death and the afterlife and a very modern obsession with cats-no wonder they capture our imaginations! PLUS: Pyramid Maths, translating the Rosetta Stone and the rise of the Sun God Aten.

2 . His Refresh

For me, change is in the air. The snow is thawing in the town where Susan and I are living. We both got vaccinated (I’ve never been so happy to have type I diabetes, which qualified me for early shots). And by the time you read this, our daughter will have been married, surrounded by family, on a Mexican beach. Hooyah! This is the spirit of change. In this issue, you’ll find new sections meant to delight you as much as tossing rice at your grinning daughter.

A knowledge quiz. Sharpen your pencils. Brain Games now features “Fact or Fiction” (page 117) to test your recall and worldliness in equal measure. I scored six and got the bonus question only by cheating and consulting 13 Things on page 40.

A new health section. You already our sister site, thehealthy.com. Now we’re curating its content into The Healthy (page 53), full of advice, first person narratives, and medical news.

Where, OH Where? There’s nothing like seeing a gorgeous photograph shot somewhere in the country and wanting —no, needing to know where the heck it was taken. We turn that irresistible sensation into a visual quiz (page 38).

Smile-inducing news. RD editors here and around the world are always finding never-before-seen examples of charity and ingenuity. We’re rolling them into A World of Good (page 18).

Animal stories! Because who can resist? To continue the celebration of our animals’ ability to bond, Best Pet Pals (page 44) will spotlight one priceless submission to your heart’s content.

________ Finally, on page 1,we’re creating a brand-new section, hoping to offer you a friend who brings fun ideas to your kitchen table, who helps everyone laugh and cry together about what makes us all human.
