Customer Reviews

My 2nd Graders Love it!

My 2nd graders are in love with this book. Most of the pictures are drawings...so not too scary for even younger kids. But there is one real picture of a mummy, which is, of course, my kids' favorite page! Take a fascinating topic and well-done pictures with interesting text and you've got yourself a great book!

Interesting read--GREAT artwork

About 2 years ago, my 2nd graders became fascinated with mummies. This led me to create an impromtu unit and gather several books on the subject. MUMMIES is a great resource in my collection as it takes the reader step by step through the mummification process. To highlight that, there are wonderful illustrations.
