Title: Mummies of the Pharaohs
Author: Melvin and Gilda Berger
Illustrator: photographs taken by many different people
Publisher: National Geographic Society
Pages: 64

Did you know there is more to Ancient Egypt than just pyramids? For example, mummies. This book is all about mummies of the pharaohs.

It was quite the task to find all of the pharaohs (kings of the Egyptian people) inside all of the pyramids. Yet some were mummified and buried somewhere else. Explore through this book to see what the variety of people
found in the tombs of the pharaohs.

I would highly recommend this book to people who are interested in the history of Egypt. There are some difficult words, so 4th grade and older would enjoy Mummies of the pharaohs. I liked how there were a lot of great pictures so as I read I could see what I was reading about. If you like this book, then you might like more exploration books.

This is a fun educational book that everybody should put on their summer reading list!
