Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
Illus. in full colour with black-and-white & full-colour photos. 'Beginning with the death of Tutankhamen, the book moves forward to archaeologist Howard Carter's discovery of the tomb. Information about ancient Egyptian life is interspersed in a clear, smooth fashion throughout. A good way to get readers into non-fiction.'--Booklist.

My 7-year-old read this (with a little help). I thought it was appropriate for the target age level. This book contains both photographs and illustrations, and we enjoyed the photographs more, because they gave a much-needed sense of reality to the story. We also appreciated that the book explained how to pronounce the hard words like Tutankhamen "(too-tonk-AH-men)". And as a parent it was nice to see it pointed out that Howard Carter's stubborn search for Tut's tomb paid off in the end.
Still, we did not find this book as interesting as other books by Judy Donnelly (such as "Moonwalk" and "The Titanic"). It could be a matter of our particular interests, but after being blown away by those other two books of hers, this one kind of fell flat.
If your child is already interested in the subject matter (Tut's tomb, mummies in general, and the beliefs of ancient Egyptians), then this may be a really good book to get. If not, then I don't think "Tut's Mummy" is going to awaken that interest.

This book is great perfect for 6-8 year old . It gave them a good idea of who king tut was , how his tomb was found, by whom and what it took entailed. It was really helpful for them to read before seeing the exhibit and they still enjoy it.

The subject matter of this book is timely since there is currently an exhibition on King Tut's tomb and treasures in the United States. The text is accessible considering this is a Step 4 book.

I liked this book because it had a lot of detail and talked about everything they did to get the mummy ready for the tomb. It also talked about everything that they did for the funeral. It was very informational because it talked about Tut's past and future. This book reminded me of a Twilight Zone episode where Tut's mummy comes to life and haunts people! Creepy!

My kids love this book. It's engaging, fast moving (especially great considering how thorough it is), and has nice photos. After reading this book my 6 year old daughter is excited to grow up and find King Tut's father's tomb.
