2021 INTERNATIONAL BOOK AWARD FINALIST

Wonder and imagination are at the heart of this story of a friendship between a boy from New York City and the boy king, Tutankhamun


A boy and his stuffed bunny gaze at a star-lit New York cityscape. The great Sphinx of Egypt sleeps. A child swings joyously across a river. This book offers a tantalizing glimpse of the adventures of Arthur and his imaginary friend, Bun-Bun. Together they travel through the Temple of Dendur at the Metropolitan Museum to another time and place and befriend the lonely boy king, Tutankhamun.

2021 INTERNATIONAL BOOK AWARD FINALIST

"Author/narrator George H. Lewis deftly introduces Arthur, who lives in New York City. He and his stuffed rabbit, Bun-Bun, are visiting the Metropolitan Museum of Art's Temple of Dendur. Listeners join the pair as they enter a portal that takes them to meet King Tutankhamun (Tut) in Egypt. The highbrow English accent Lewis gives Bun-Bun matches Tut's regal confidence, while Arthur speaks like a typical American teen. Sounding astute, Bun-Bun encourages Tut to strive for peace, not war--as his advisors desire. Pragmatic Arthur encourages Tut to flee. Eventually, Arthur longs for home, but Bun-Bun realizes he must remain to continue guiding Tut. Along with a magical and poetic story, listeners are treated to a tour of ancient Egypt."—AudioFile
