Mummies, Myth and Magic in Ancient Egypt 6 reviews
Christine El Mahdy, 2008
Just read it! :)
"Mummies, Myth, and Magic" explores practically all facets of its chosen subject matter: burial, preparation, symbolism, even the excavators charged with elaborating on all of the above. The essays spent on modern mummy examinations are fascinating, not to mention the fabulous photography. The affect of various periods in Egyptian history--such as the Intermediate periods and the Amarna ...

The KA -- Mary Deal has done it again! Get ready for a fantastic ride!!!
I knew this book would be a great read coming from such a talented writer but nothing could have prepared me for the fantastic voyage through Egypt's rich and colorful mysteries (both historical and modern) that Mary somehow magically manages to provide through her extremely enjoyable, knowledgeable and unmatchable writing style!
Mary has the ability to transport you from modern day to ancient ...

Mummies Made in Egypt7 reviews
Aliki
Ty Crowell Co, 1979
The Wish to Live Forever
Kids love mummies, and mine are no exception. As Aliki (the book's author/illustrator) says, "A mummy is a mystery-hidden in layers of ancient bandage, bedecked with priceless jewels." We read Mummies Made in Egypt as part of our Egyptian study when our children were 7, 10 and 11. The back cover (accurately) says the book is written for ages 8 to 12. I have to admit I loved this book as much as ...

The Mystery of the Whispering Mummy (The Three Investigators, 3) 14 reviews
Robert Arthur
Tandem Library, 2001
Speak to me Mummy!
Quite a few children's mystery book series have become classics. Most people are familiar with Nancy Drew, the Hardy Boys, and Tom Swift. Even the Boxcar Children are relatively well-known. However, Alfred Hitchcock and the Three Investigators were well-written books that offered an intelligent, interesting and more contemporary alternative to many of the earlier classic series. Many people ...

The Mummy Market6 reviews
Nancy Burns Brelis
Harpercollins Juvenile Books, 1966
A Memorable Children's book
This is one of the few great books I remember from childhood. Kids aged 7-10 will love the magical elements, and especially the idea of "trading Mom in", something every child has wanted to do at least once! It is a story with a moral, but the moral does not intrude on the fun.

VERY CREEPY (and funny)!!!
You simply can't go wrong with this wacky zany summer send-up. Einstein P. Fleet, a loner-nerd trapped at a hellish summer camp in the Mojave Desert, leads us through a wild storyline of escape, with monster costumes, vampires, werewolves and aliens all in the mix.
This fast-paced, well-written farce is a quick, irreverent, hilarious read for kids and adult-kids. Highly recommended. It's no ...

Mother Ghoul's Curses and Rhymes (Monster Classics)4 reviews
Lian Danson Publishing, 2008
Sinfully Delightful
It's like bedtime at the Addam's Family house.
Playful poems and nursery rhymes have been artfully reworked into macabre tidbits. Deliciously dark delights that evoke visions both entertaining and unsettling.
A sinful little repast that makes for one enjoyable guilty pleasure.
The only thing I would suggest to the author; Is to team up with a good graphic artist who can render equally ...

Bound for Eternity (Lisa Donahue Archaeological Mysteries)4 reviews, 2005
Sip of Education, glup of murder
Most good fiction today combines expert knowledge of something with an interesting plot -they makes us feel as if we are taking an educational vacation. Sarah knows alot about Egyptian Mummies and hard pressed archaeological museums. You can smell the dust, feel the fur, taste the wine, see the blood, and nod your head at the Filemaker Pro frustrations. It's a darn good read and cheaper than a ...

Great Info on 'The Mummy"
I've seen the movie "The Mummy" 3 times already and was very curious how they did the incredible special effects. This book really gives a good overview of not just the special effects but also all the cast and characters and the people behind the camera. Great movie! Great book!

Euphrosyne Doxiadis
Harry N. Abrams, 1995
A wonderful art book on the first great portrait painters.
This is a beautiful book for anyone interested in Hellenistic Greek or Roman painting or portraits from any time. These are the first portraits in which the subjects look directly at us as we regard them. They are a haunting glimpse into the lives of people dead for 2000 years. This book is full of big color illustrations. Doxiadis does a fine job of tracing the history of the discovery, ...

Scholastic Hippo, 1999
Is that your daughty?
This book is pretty good. I just thought the mummy was real. It was just General Rameer's daughter. Since R.L. Stine made "Scream School" the things have either been jokes or something that isn't real. How about The Werewolf In The Living Room not be a joke?

Glad I Bought It!
What an amazing find! We came across this book while looking for Ancient Egypt textbooks and we love it. The author has done an outstanding job and is obviously well researched. The fascination the Egyptians had with cats is very interesting and this book draws you straight into it. Highly recommended and the illustrations are the perfect accompaniment. Just lovely!

Absolutely wonderful
Those who are interested in Ancient Egyptian mummification practices will find this book fascinating. Each aspect of the funerary practices is described in great depth, following its development through different periods of Egyptian history. It is a very detailed account, with lots of illustrations. Absolutely great analysis of the royal mummies; fascinating photos - which, I admit, might gross ...
