Cat
Mummies by Kelly
Trumble. A detailed account of the subject with beautiful
illustrations...why were cat mummies made? (And if you read closely, who
killed them). It's not an "easy read," but any child
interested in cats and mummies will find this a fascinating book. I
especially liked the story of the poor Roman soldier who accidentally
killed a cat (considered sacred at one point in Ancient Egypt)--and was
killed himself for his offense. Well-researched.
