ashley becker: The book is a good level 2 book but the images scared my son. Specifically the Xin Zhui mummy.

Amazon Customer: My son (5) has been very interested in all things Egypt. I was worried this book might be too gory or scary for a bedtime story but it is very tactfully written with young ones in mind. We've read it a dozen times already! Well done Nat Geo

Lexi G: My first grader has been really interested in mummies lately (thanks scooby doo). I bought this book since it’s non fiction and in his reading level. The pictures are a little spooky since they’re of real mummies. He absolutely loved all the cool facts in this book. From seeing pictures of real mummies to learning about the mummification process. He reads this book at least once a week. He’s even shared it with his virtual class and have inspired his classmates and teacher to learn more about ancient Egypt. This was definitely a winner for my seven year old who loves to learn.

Amazon Customer: I purchase these for my grandchildren. They really enjoy these books, as they are geared to children who are learning to read. The rating system is fantastic, and really does help you decide which level your child is reading at, and their ability to understand what they are reading. Fantastic books.

JSW: I thought my almost 5 year old - who is obsessed with mummies right now since seeing one in our local museum - would be terrified of this cover alone, but she loves this book and says "it's cool, not scary"! This is a really neat book, more like a magazine-style, intended for young kids. Nothing really graphic, although they are very clear in the text that "they remove the brain with a hook through the nose", and they do show real mummies close up (like the cover) ... so not for the faint of heart kids. But my preschooler is almost 5 and scared of alot however not this book. So I am giving it 5 stars for being truly age appropriate. The text is informative and large print for those a little older learning to read. Very happy with this purchase and so is my child!

JD: I bought this book to learn about mummies with my first graders. That is NOT an easy subject to teach with such little children, as you're talking about dead people. It all started when they asked, "Are mummies real?" I replied with the truth, "Well, yes, but they're not monsters that chase you around going, 'Whoooooo!'" And thus began my search for an age-appropriate, non-fiction book about mummies. Let me assure you, that doesn't exist. However, that being said, with lots of stopping for commentary and answering questions, this was really good. Some were scared, some were grossed out, almost all were fascinated. And you're dealing with ancient religious beliefs, so at one point, I had to tell them, "That is a good question. People believe different things. You should ask you parents what they believe." One little girl told me after I finished reading, "This is kind of disgusting, but it's also kind of interesting." I could've hugged her on the spot. It's probably very different if you're reading it one-on-one with your child, but when you're tackling a room full of little, eager minds, this is a pretty good place to start. I recommend it, but be prepared to stop along the way to...
