Interesting！

Monica Silva ，

My son really liked this book 。

Kimberly ，

Great intro to mummies。 My boy was fascinated。

Nicholas ，

interesting

Marie ，

Fascinating！ This book is for early readers， but I learned some new things as well。 These National Geographic readers are perfect for kids to practice reading out loud 。。。 and this mom actually looks forward to them。

Sue ，

Extra star because of the humor on one of the pages: they depict the employees playing cards while a corpse waits 40 days in salt， to dry out。

The best type of books are the ones the make want you want to KEEP LEARNING！ This book could probably take less than ten minutes to read but it took me over an hour - simply because I stopped at every other page to do some further digging。Not only was the content inside the book entertaining， it definitely led to further discoveries outside of the book， and that's what a good book is all about。 The best type of books are the ones the make want you want to KEEP LEARNING！ This book could probably take less than ten minutes to read but it took me over an hour - simply because I stopped at every other page to do some further digging。Not only was the content inside the book entertaining， it definitely led to further discoveries outside of the book， and that's what a good book is all about。 。。。more

Summary: This book explains all about mummies。 It talks about old to new mummies and all the mysteries in between。 Evaluation: There is lots of information that I learned from it as an adult。 It is a National Geographic reader for kids， which is held as a high quality entity。 Throughout the book， it has vocabulary words with their definitions such as decay， tomb， and mummify。 Teaching Idea: It would be a great nonfiction book when talking about ancient times or Egypt for younger reader Summary: This book explains all about mummies。 It talks about old to new mummies and all the mysteries in between。 Evaluation: There is lots of information that I learned from it as an adult。 It is a National Geographic reader for kids， which is held as a high quality entity。 Throughout the book， it has vocabulary words with their definitions such as decay， tomb， and mummify。 Teaching Idea: It would be a great nonfiction book when talking about ancient times or Egypt for younger readers。 A lesson could be taught using this book to teach students how to read and gather information from nonfiction texts。 。。。more

EhI think this book is very interesting it helped me learn about mummies and embalmers。 But I didn't like it because I thought the book was way to short。 EhI think this book is very interesting it helped me learn about mummies and embalmers。 But I didn't like it because I thought the book was way to short。 。。。more

Lots of facts but grossFor most of the book，It was interesting。 But it was gross on the mummy making page when they took his BRAIN out of his NOSE！！！

This book is AMAZING！ It completely captivated my 5 and 3 year old！ So much that they made a "how to make a mummy" game that they played at a sleepover we hosted。 It was precious watching them pretend to salt， dry， oil and them wrap one another up in bed sheets。 This correlates well with our studies of Machu Picchu。 Thank you National Geographic！ This book is AMAZING！ It completely captivated my 5 and 3 year old！ So much that they made a "how to make a mummy" game that they played at a sleepover we hosted。 It was precious watching them pretend to salt， dry， oil and them wrap one another up in bed sheets。 This correlates well with our studies of Machu Picchu。 Thank you National Geographic！ 。。。more

My kids love this book。

Ginnie Grant ，

My son got this book for studying about mummies and I read it with him。 This fascinated me just as much as it did him。 It really gets in depth about how and why there are mummies and the pictures are very vivid。 Loved it！

This was a great resource to go along with my semester field trip to the Tomb in Pigeon Forge and my field trip to the Indianapolis Children's Museum in October。 I remembered things before we read it in the book。 This was a great resource to go along with my semester field trip to the Tomb in Pigeon Forge and my field trip to the Indianapolis Children's Museum in October。 I remembered things before we read it in the book。 。。。more

Jessa Forth ，

There are books that have a whole lot more detail about how mummies are made。 This book left a lot out， I feel。

Lisa ，

So perfect for preschool and kindergarten-the perfect amount of information and great pictures to go along！

Joel Manuel ，

An interesting book on real-life （not movie） mummies for kids， which handles the potentially gory business of mummy making in a thoughtful way。

Miloš & Brontë ，

Brontë: I know who my two favourite people are？Pa: Whoa， slow down Maurice。 Let me get ready。 Okay go。Brontë: You know how many people I liked？Pa: Two。Brontë: No。 Four。 Pa: Okay。 What ones？Brontë: Tollund Man。Pa: He's one of my favourites！Brontë: I know。 He's one of my favourites too。 And Lady Dai。 She's freaky。 And this guy *she points to a picture，* Jeremy Bentham。Pa: That's only three。Brontë: Well there was one more， one of my favourite parts。 This guy -- Ötzi。 I liked the Ice Man。 He was coo Brontë: I know who my two favourite people are？Pa: Whoa， slow down Maurice。 Let me get ready。 Okay go。Brontë: You know how many people I liked？Pa: Two。Brontë: No。 Four。 Pa: Okay。 What ones？Brontë: Tollund Man。Pa: He's one of my favourites！Brontë: I know。 He's one of my favourites too。 And Lady Dai。 She's freaky。 And this guy *she points to a picture，* Jeremy Bentham。Pa: That's only three。Brontë: Well there was one more， one of my favourite parts。 This guy -- Ötzi。 I liked the Ice Man。 He was cool。Pa: So you dug the non-Egyptian mummies the most。 Which was your favourite？Brontë: Tollund Man。 Pa: How come？Brontë: I don't know。 Because he is just really cool。 And I like how you can actually see his bones。 It's like a clay 。。。 like a statue of him， like he fell down， only it is an actual mummy。 Pa: How did he die？Brontë: He got strangled。 But nobody knows for sure how it happened， if he strangled himself， if somebody strangled him。 It's pretty cool。Pa: So what else did you dig。 Brontë: I digged Lady Dai because when I turned the page and saw her I jumped back and said "Holy！ that is very weird。" And I was like she looked way fatter than she did when she was alive， but that's because they did lots and lots and lots and lots of layers of salt on her。 So more layers make her bigger。 It was pretty cool。 She was buried in a sand thing， that was like a sand attic， or a basement actually， and it was really little and it was full of sand。 It was really cool。 Pa: Where was she from？Brontë: Chinese。 She's chinese。 She's from China。 I couldn't believe that they had a Mummy in China。 What I liked about this book is that it is the first book that I've had where they show you how to make a Mummy。 It's on page 18 and 19。Pa: So are you going to make one。Brontë: Yep。 Once you die I am going to make a Mummy out of you。 But if you don't mind I think you'll look a little fatter because of the layers of salt。 Pa: I won't mind。 Brontë: Good。 Pa: Anything else you want to say？Brontë: There was a great joke。 You know this one， though: Why did the Mummy call the Doctor？Pa: Why？Brontë: Because he was coffin。 I like that one。Pa: You're a cheeseball。Brontë: Thank you。 Pa: You're welcome。 Good work。Brontë: Thank you。 Pa: You're welcome。 Good bye。Brontë: Good bye again。（gotta love Go Dog。 Go。 references） 。。。more
