Mouldy Mummies (Smelly Old History)

Summary: Mouldy Mummies
Review: All of Mary Dobson's "Smelly Old History" books are an excellent way for elementary students to learn history and take whiffs of the many foul smells along history's timeline. The kids get so excited to smell the next foul smell they forget they are learning historical facts as they go. My first grade boy loves the books, but loves scratching the smells best. Some of the facts are a bit beyond 1st grade and younger, but they will still love the books. Ideal for 3rd-5th graders, who have some knowledge of ancient history and can remember names of people and important events in history. Excellent and fun choice for any elementary age student as a gift or for school.

Summary: Smelly indeed! A real stinker.
Review: This witty book is spoiled beacuase the smells impregnated into the pages do not have a long shelf life once opened. You can find better books than this if you want to find out about the subjects.
