Mummies and Pyramids by Mary Pope Osborne, Salvatore Murdocca, Will Osborne

3.0

This was surprisingly informative for being a Magic Tree House Research Guide. It was the base of my Ancient Egypt obsession, providing me with what I needed to learn more. It's not really about mummies and pyramids than it is about the ancient Egyptian culture and lifestyle. It provided kids with an excellent look into a time period somewhat forgotten in history. And while there aren't really any specific time periods mentioned, that didn't detract from the quality of the book. Most of the times given for events that happened in ancient Egypt are vague estimates anyhow. This also has pictures and other tidbits to keep children introduced, though I can't figure out for the life of me why they don't these thinks in color. Stupid publishers!
