Secrets
of the Dead: Mummies Revealed by
Harriet Griffey is
part of a new reading series by Eyewitness Books (Dorling-Kindersley).
This Level 4 book (recommended for Grades 2-4) takes readers on a world
tour, from the ancient Egyptians
to the Inca emperor mummies to Juanita the Ice Maiden to Sicilian mummies
to the mummy of Eva Peron (an unusual choice, but interesting
nonetheless). Lots of photographs (almost all in color)...high interest
for mummy lovers.
