Unwrap the Mummy! a Four-Foot-Long, Fact-Filled, Pop-Up Mummy to Explore!

This is a fun book on Egyptian mummies. The book opens like a normal book, but the pages fold out vertically to form a four-foot mummy complete with eyelets for hanging. There are flaps and pop-ups within the fold-outs, as well. The book covers basic facts on mummies, along with some strange ones (like that they were used for fertilizer!). It is nice because the authors don't gloss over or twist the reality, but it doesn't seem scary either. Everything is presented with quirky cartoon characters. The content is pretty basic, but this is fine for introduction/casual learning. The fold-out format should entertain and draw the young reader back, perhap encouraging interest in the subject. The fold-out format can make it difficult to read, but I don't think the young reader will worry about that.

I've had this book since i was given it by my parents when i was 7, and even though it has an age title of 6-8 i still enjoy it and i'm now 14! But the whole book is cleverly written for children to understand so they learn while having fun. I would personally recommend this book to anyone who is hesitant to purchase it, for their children or even for themselves.
