Wonderful for your little monster enthusiasts.

My nephews love Halloween and love dressing up. This is a wonderful story for the little ones who love mummy's and ghouls. The illustrations are wonderfully engaging and the story is delightful an adventure for any youngster. My nephew is going to be a mummy for Halloween he is going to truly enjoy this book along with his costume. I am also a teacher and would have no problem reading this to my Kindergarten and 1st Grade. Where's My Mummy?

A shriekingly good read!

"Where's my mummy?" is not only perfect for Halloween, but anytime - it has a universal theme - of a little baby mummy looking for his Big Mama Mummy during a game of Hide-and-Shriek. As the little mummy stumbles through the woods, he encounters a motley group of interesting and familiar characters such as a skeleton ["Bones"], the Glob, and even ol Dracula ["Drac"]. The illustrations are so vibrant and colorful, with a generous spread of humor throughout that even my 4 year-old was giggling [despite the 'monsters' found within the pages of the book]. And there's even irony towards the end, as Little Baby Mummy who has been brave throughout finally gets afraid...of a mouse! There's plenty of laughs in here, and makes for a perfect read-aloud session. The sentences are short and easy to follow. Highly recommended!

WHERE'S MY MUMMY? is the perfect book for the Halloween season. Baby Mummy, like any small child, doesn't want to go to bed. He asks his Big Mama Mummy for one more game of Hide and Shriek. So while his mama counts, he goes off to hide. Baby Mummy starts off his game in the cemetery, only to have a visitor come out and tell him to go to bed. Saying he's not scared, he ventures off into other scary places. Baby Mummy meets a variety of scary creatures (perfect for Halloween) without showing any fear. It's only when the most un-scary creature crosses his path does Baby Mummy call out in fear for his mummy. WHERE'S MY MUMMY? is a treat for all ages. Most kids will do what they can to get a few more minutes of staying up. Baby Mummy is no exception. The scary folk he encounters during his game of Hide and Shriek are far from scary. The story will entertain children of all ages. With repetitive words through each adventure, small children will be shouting out the phrases in no time! My 8-year-old son read the story to me with many chuckles along the way, and then my 5-year-old daughter caught on to the repeating words early on to help finish the story. Pick up WHERE'S MY MUMMY? for a frightfully fun read! Reviewed by: Jaglvr

Where's My Mummy

This adorable read aloud is a nice Halloween-y treat for youngsters. Sweet and silly rhymes combine with wonderful illustrations (that are just creepy enough to be fun but not scary) to create a delightfully spooky story.

3 year old loves it!

This wonderfully written and illustrated book takes you on a tour through the grave yard with baby mummy, where we meet dracula, skeleton and other halloween characters. The rhythm of the story makes it easy for young ones to remember; my son had it memorized after the fourth read. The characters are presented in a fun, non-scary way. My three year old loves it, and I do too!
