Screaming Mummies of the Pharaoh's Tomb II (Tales from the House of Bunnicula) [Paperback]

James Howe (Author), Brett Helquist (Illustrator)

Book Description

Series: Tales from the House of Bunnicula

Dear possible reader of this book,

I wasn't sure I'd be able to write a book ever again after Canine Quarterly reviewed my series, Tales from the House of Bunnicula. They said I would never win the Newbony Award. Was I depressed! And I didn't even know what a Newbony was! Luckily Delilah's read a lot of Newbony books, so she helped me write this one. It's about a poor (but very cute) orphan dachshund puppy named Howie Monroe, who lives on the prairie and yearns for a chicken bone. (I know. Trust me.) Things really get exciting when Howie and his best friend, the smart and well-read Delilah, find a time machine and travel back to ancient Egypt where they uncover...the mystery of the Pharaoh's tomb!!!

Your friend,

Howie

My son has read this book several times since getting it. Every time he reads it he laughs hysterically. It is also a great book for him to read out loud to us.

This review is from: Screaming Mummies of the Pharaoh's Tomb II (Tales from the House of Bunnicula) (Paperback)

This book has been passed around my youngest sons class room, he tells me that all the boys have read the book and 2 girls want to read it.
The book is age approiate for a 4th Grader, and is written so well, that it can hold the interest of this group of 9 year olds.
All of our children are avid readers. We love the Bunnicula series, and I belive that we have them all.
