Core 1 Ancient Egypt: Mummies Made in Egypt by Aliki

Product Details

Rating 6/10

Outlining in simplistic terms the burial preparation process of mummification, with line drawings and simple pictures, it is enough information for a first/second grader.  I would prefer more detail and think a lot of things were left out, and I think the drawings could be a little more professionally done, but overall a good synopsis of parts of the mummification process.  It does show pictures of the Egyption gods with hieroglyphs at the beginning, and a brief sentence describing what each god stands for. 

If your child tends to get bogged down with too much information or you have a younger tag-along, I do think this is a good addition, it is written for younger children.
