Farndon, John How to Live Like an Egyptian Mummy Maker 32
pgs. (Hungry Tomato) Lerner, 2017. $24.99
NON-FICTION
This book follows the story of a mummy maker to be. He starts
his journey to embalming school where he learns about the gods and to read and
write, he learns the art of embalming including all the secret rituals. Finally
he gets his chance to embalm a real pharaoh. Readers also learn many
interesting facts about grave robberies. Includes bright and varied full color
illustrations.
This was a great read
that is sure to be popular in your library. While it warns that its gruesome, I
think that it would still be ok for younger readers, especially if their
parents were reading it with them or they were just looking at the illustrations.
I like the format because the story portion hooks the student into a relate-able scenario
of someone their age starting school just like them.
