The Best Book of Mummies

by Miranda Smith

 

The Best Book of Mummies by Miranda Smith is a great introduction to mummies in ancient Egypt. In 33 well-illustrated pages, Steele takes readers into a secret tomb, discusses the pharaohs and the Egyptian people, and then turns to his main task: the mummymaking process. One of the best sections is called "A grisly job" which depicts the stages of mummification; it's not particularly grisly at all the way it's illustrated and contains just enough close-up drawings to explain how the Egyptians preserved the dead. A glossary is included. Excellent for young researchers.
