Magic Tree House Secret Of The Pyramid

The Egyptian pyramids are full of secrets and wonder, but I wonder what inspired the author to set part of the story there. Did they want to introduce kids to ancient cultures in a fun way?

The story keeps things exciting while sneakily teaching about Egypt. I’m curious if other readers thought it was a good mix or if it felt a bit too educational for a kids' book.

The blend of history, fantasy, and adventure really hooks kids, but I wonder what specifically resonates with children and keeps them coming back for more?
