This was a really fun read, and all the photos were super interesting too!
I’ve had this on my shelf for FOREVER, and it seemed like it was about time I pick it up. I’m glad I did.
This really is a good read for anyone interested in Ancient Egypt, no matter how much knowledge you have about it.

Great informational book about life in ancient Egypt, their burial customs, and how archaeologists excavate the tombs. This book also looks at the remains of several mummies, including a farmer, a wealthy woman, and a high priest.

This book not only allows students a look at more general information regarding Ancient Egypt, but also allows for more detailed information regarding specific information on Egyptian individuals whose mummies have been studied. The inclusion of real life museum photos is likely to keep students engaged and reading the information, and as such is something I would readily use in an Egypt unit. The text balances photos and text well and moves at a good pace, never staying on the same topic for too long.

This is a very detailed book of Ancient Egyptian practices. Readers learn general information about mummies, and the things these ancient peoples made. The book contains several images from excavated tombs of mummies, allowing readers to learn all they can about this topic. The author has included several examples of mummifies people, such as Ginger and Katebet. Readers are shown the different ways these bodies were stored (coffins and sarcophagus’), as well as mummified cats that these people brought with them. This is a very useful resource for readers interested in these ancient peoples.

This book was written to interest children in grades 3-6 and is on a 7.8 reading level.
