Mummies And
Their Mysteries by Charlotte Wilcox
is a general book about
mummies, emphasizing photographs (most in color). Chapters include Egyptian mummies, Incan mummies, cave
mummies, frozen mummies, Asian mummies, bog mummies--and many animal mummies interspersed
throughout. The book is well-designed, and the photos are good (some were taken
especially
for this book, so there are some unusual ones). The book makes an ideal introduction to
mummies for readers in the lower middle grades--it's easy to follow, contains lots of
basic information, and is visually appealing!
