Title: VERY Informative Book of Mummies for Adolescents
Product review: I read this book because I asked my daughter to read it as part of her homeschooling history curriculum, and I wanted us to be "on the same page" as far as her learning was going. (It is also quite a bit longer than other books in her curriculum and I didn't want her thinking I was giving her work I wouldn't be willing to do myself.)Although this book is between a 5th-7th grade level, it is PACKED with information on where mummies are found, how they are formed, how scientists learn from them, and what happens to mummies when scientists have finished with them. Even I learned a lot from this book. I think anyone who is interested in mummies, anthropology, or Egyptology but still doesn't know much about it, should pick up this book as a good basic starting point. There is also a good sized bibliography as well as a chapter on which museums usually display the mummies covered in this book are located.
