...an attractively presented, in-depth look at mummies...this book will inform and entertain. - school librarian

Daddies will like it, mummies (of course) will like it, and the children will find it answers all the questions they never knew they asked. A superb book. - Newbury Weekly News, 8 Feb 2001
