Ra is the Pharaoh’s cat and does pretty much nothing  other than sleep and eat. But when young Tedimut, a servant girl, gets accused of stealing jewelry from the Pharaoh’s Wife, Ra decides to help solve the mystery of who did it with the help of a dung beetle friend Khepri. This is a great choice for a read-a-loud or young readers looking for a mystery. Ra and Khepri are are the perfect duo to get the job of solving the mystery done. Humor, illustrations, big font and a fast paced but solvable mystery make this a good choice for young readers. It would also work nicely as a read aloud. An added bonus are the cool bits of Egyptian daily life and history. Grades 2 and up.
