Summary
Research guide to pair with the Magic Tree House book, Mummies in the Morning. Written for the same age group - roughly ages 7 to 12 - provides additional background information on Egyptian culture, mummies, pyramids, etc.
Review
I am a mentor with In2Books (a program that matches adult mentors with students in grades 3 -5 - students and mentors read 5 books and share emails about what they have read), and my student chose this book for the social studies component of the program.
My son has read many of the Magic Tree House books, but this was the first Research Guide I have read. I liked it so much, I would like to read the rest and even add them to our household library. The main characters from MTH are included in the illustrations. Facts included will appeal to kids and adults alike.
4 out of 5 stars
Recommended for: classroom libraries, homeschool libraries, elementary students, readers of the Magic Tree House books, and research materials for elementary students studying one of the topics represented in the books (there are research guides for things like knights/castles, dinosaurs, pirates, rain forests, ancient Greece, dolphins/sharks, DaVinci, etc.).
Cautions: none
