I am a Classical Homeschooling mom and this was a great explaination of how King Tut's mummy was discovered and why they mummified their dead. The pictures were wonderfully displayed and the illustrations were very helpful. It read like a story which kept my seven-year-old daughter's interest but taught her a great deal.
Great little book, perfect for the early reader. My then-first grader loved this story of the death and burial of an ancient Pharaoh and his subsequent discovery in the 20th Century by Lord Carrington. Chock full of photos and beautiful, almost impressionistic illustrations. Large print, easy to read.Tut's Mummy proved to be a valuable part of our Egyptian study. Oh... My daughter's older siblings (then in the fifth and sixth grades) liked the book too!This book was a recommended resource in The Greenleaf Guide to Ancient Egypt (Greenleaf Guides).
Like other "Step" books, this book is a smooth and interesting segue into historical figures and events. Of all of the Step books in my 2nd grade classroom library, this is one of my favorites. It is well-written and keeps childrens' attention as it talks about customs and religious practices that one can only imagine. It guides the reader from Tut's short reign and death to the discovery of his tomb in the early 1900's. A great and interesting read!
I'm a super-picky homeschooler so I really have a love/hate relationship with ancient Egypt resources. I debated for awhile before buying this book because I have been really disenchanted with most of the books out there on Tut and mummies. But because so many curriculums include it, and it was so cheap, I went for it. It's worth the purchase.The book is the story of Tut's tomb being discovered by Howard Carter. My third grader really enjoyed this story, even though it was below his grade level. While I wasn't thrilled with the acknowledgement of "the mummy's curse," the author handled it in a way that made it seem dumb as opposed to legitimate, so I appreciated that. It also didn't show any illustrations of Tut's decayed corpse, which many children's books seem to love including. So I appreciated that too. Actually, I compared the most recent version of this book to the old version, and I liked the pictures of the old one better.As non-fiction goes, the text is suspenseful and interesting. And it provides a necessary part of the Tut story in an easy to handle way.
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.
Great non fiction book for my 7 year old Grandson. It is advanced non fiction topic, but with lots of pictures to keep his attention. Typical Step into Reading series style with controlled vocabulary. Step into Reading does a great job at providing higher level topics at easy reading levels. Many young kids want this kind of content. Price is excellent.
This was a short, easy history of Tut's Mummy. My son was very interested in the story and the pictures helped to tell the story. The words are easy to understand so that eventually he will be able to read this to himself.
this is a good book for someone around the age of 5 to 7. the book is in really easy to read and in large print. there are 48 pages and it was done in 1988. i think the illustrations could have been a little better. but if you have young kids they might want to read this.
