As you turn the pages you uncover layers of the mummy...the inner coffin, the burial mask, etc. until you get to the mummy and its withered body. There are also the four jars containing the internal organs, and these open up too to show the contents. The book includes descriptions of the process by which Egyptians transformed a body into a mummy and the rituals involved. My 5 year old loves this book. I don't read every word to her or she would get bored, but I select passages and the tactile aspects of the book keep her interested.

Yes, this is the one your kids will fight over. Yes, it is every bit as cool as it looks from this listing. Yes, every time you turn the page, another layer of the mummy peels off and you get a closer look. Yes, you will be so glad you got this book. Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes.

The first (NEW) book i recieved came with the book damaged and pieces broken off. I called to give them a chance to fix the problem and they told me they would send me another without having to send the damaged one back. It took the same amount of time to get the second one as the first, which i think they could have sent it faster. Once the second (NEW) book came in it also came in the same way, damaged and in pieces. Like you would think you would package the second one better to keep it from being tossed and dumped around at the post office like the first one. But i would definitely never do business with these people again.
