Gus Visits the Great Pyramids follows Gus the Traveling Sloth on a quiet adventure to Egypt’s ancient Giza Plateau. As Gus walks among the towering pyramids, explores the mysterious passages inside the Great Pyramid, and meets the watchful Sphinx, he begins to wonder about the people who built these incredible monuments thousands of years ago.
In Gus Visits the Great Pyramids, Gus the Traveling Sloth leaves his cozy jungle home to follow his curiosity across the world to the vast desert of Egypt.
Walking across the sunlit sands of the Giza Plateau, Gus encounters one of the greatest wonders ever built by human hands the Great Pyramid. Up close, each stone is enormous. Inside, cool passages lead him through ancient corridors and into the towering Grand Gallery, where the ceiling rises higher than he ever imagined. Deep within the pyramid’s red granite chamber, Gus discovers a quiet place older than any story he knows.
Outside again beneath the wide desert sky, Gus meets the patient gaze of the Great Sphinx, walks the ancient stone road between pyramids, and learns about the remarkable people who built these monuments thousands of years ago.
As the sun sets and the pyramids turn into dark silhouettes against a glowing sky, Gus begins to understand something important that people can create beautiful things that last far beyond their own lifetimes.
Under a blanket of stars and soft moonlight, with the ancient pyramids watching over the desert, Gus curls up beside the Sphinx and falls asleep, gently held by one of the oldest landscapes in the world.
Gus Visits the Great Pyramids is a calm, beautifully illustrated adventure that introduces young readers to one of the world’s most extraordinary places while celebrating curiosity, exploration, and the enduring spirit of human creativity.
Perfect for bedtime reading and for young explorers who dream of seeing the wonders of our world.

Wade S. Saxton writes illustrated mysteries and gentle adventures for curious young readers, published under Red Fedora Books. Gus the Traveling Sloth takes his time. He has wandered the gardens of Maymont Park in Richmond, Virginia, climbed through the frescoes of Sigiriya in Sri Lanka, and stood beneath the desert sky at Giza -- always more interested in noticing than in hurrying. Scarlet Ash works a different beat: a twilight version of 1950s Richmond, where the streetlights glow amber, trolley tracks hum beneath the pavement, and the quietest clue is usually the one that matters. So far she has closed the case of the Ghost Trolley and the case of the Missing Melody. Every book is a door into the same connected story-world. You can walk through it at redfedorabooks.com.
