If the very first thing that comes to mind when someone mentions a mummy is a ghastly, bandaged creature staggering forth from a tomb, it’s time to try Mummies and Pyramids. This entertaining and enlightening research companion to Mary Pope Osborne’s Mummies in the Morning is perfect for readers who developed an insatiable taste for the mysteries and science of ancient Egypt even as reading about Jack and Annie’s time- and space-traveling adventures at the pyramid of Queen Hutepi. Guided by siblings Jack and Annie, stars of the Magic Tree House series, the easy-to-read text offers up the secrets of pharaohs, hieroglyphic writing, the building of pyramids, how and why mummies were made, the Book of the Dead, Egyptian gods and goddesses, tomb treasures–and tomb robbers–and more. Divided into chapters covering on a regular basis life in ancient Egypt, religion, funerals, and the most famous mummy of all, King Tutankhamen, the book also offers suggestions on how children can do their own research. Plentiful black and white illustrations and reproductions of Egyptian art make learning extra fun, as do regular appearances by Jack and Annie as they give an explanation for details of the text or offer statement (“Not fair!” Annie says, “Only boys could go to school and transform scribes!”). Stimulating and lively, this research guide is a stellar introduction to a subject guaranteed to intrigue young readers. (Ages 6 to 10) –Emilie Coulter
