FOR USE IN SCHOOLS AND LIBRARIES ONLY. Little William Everett Crocodile and his friend Pete take a class trip to a Cairo museum where they encounter a jewel thief.
On Monday Bill Crocodile learns about his hometown on the River Nile from a spectacled Ms. Ibis; on Tuesday, about the Sphinx; Pharaohs, burial chambers and pyramids on Wednesday; Thursday is the day for the Sacred Eye of Isis. Finally, on Friday, he sees it all on a class trip to the Royal Museum, where Bill and Pete doughtily save the famous Isis jewel from ``Bad Guy.'' On their journey down the Nile, dePaola's duo transport readers from the mummified past to a living present. Time distinction is abolished as the Nile Queen, the Grand Hotel, cars and umbrellas, sarcophaguses, sacred jewels and sphinxes are all part of the setting for an ancient story that still bears retelling. Shades of blue and gold strengthen the mood of the mystery and adventure. Ages 26. (May)

Bill and Pete Go Down the Nile
School Library Journal astutely noted the liberal use of "happy colors" in this book: soothing shades of green, pink, blue and yellow. I agree with the idea of their observation; it did seem to me that Bill and Pete Go Down the Nile had an especially cheerful ambience about it, which likely can be attributed to Tomie dePaola's color choices. Knowing his flair for the artistic, I'm certain that this was no stroke of luck.
The story will be interesting to early readers, and is a good introduction to the writing and art of Tomie dePaola.
