Lila Perl's Mummies, Tombs and Treasure: Secrets of Ancient Egypt is an impressive well-written introduction to Egyptian mummies. The book teaches older children about a range of mummies from the earliest accidental sun-dried ones to the best ones of the 21st Dynasty and beyond. Perl is a clear writer and she explains the history, the process, and more important the rationale of mummification in ancient Egypt. The only problem with the book is that it was first published in 1987--and many discoveries have been made since then. Still, this is an excellent book to have on hand in a classroom library; the basic information is still accurate. With many black-and-white photographs, a bibliography and index.
