Summary: A Fascinating Read
Review: Looking for a high-interest read for a reluctant grade 6-8 reader? This should do it! Stunning photographs of human remains accompany an interesting text. But this one isn't for the nightmare-prone. Make sure you read through the book to see that it is appropriate for the child you hand it to. The text addresses a variety of ways bodies become mummified, how bodies decay, how and why human remains are studied by scientists, burial customs, and also makes a case for respecting human remains. The book has some interesting science and supports the Investigation and Experimentation strand for grades 6-8, and the Earth and Life History standard for grade 7 (California Science standards).

Summary: Be Prepard to be Grossed out!!!!
Review: Mummies, Bones, and Body Parts, by Charlotte Wilcox, is not a good book to read before lunch. I give this book 3and ½ stars because it was pretty good. It's about mummies and how they are found. It also tells how they were prepared for burial, and thousands of years later, where and why they were found or discovered.
This book is an informational text, that means it can teach you things. I like learning about mummies and how they are found. Also, I like learning new things all the time.I don't think the author could have done anything better. I thought it was good just the way it is. When reading this book you can tell the author wrote this book because she has a passion for Egyptian after life. Also I think she wanted other people to get excited about what she likes.

Summary: Be Prepard to be Grossed out!!!!
Review: This book is very interesting but it is also very gory. It is a nonfiction picture book that is appropriate for young adult readers. Every image has a description of the picture that captures your attention, and depending on your personal interest, leads the reader to the narrative on the same page.
