Review: I like this book because I like mysteries. It is about a mummy coaching softball. The mummy is always getting hurt. That's why he's all wrapped up in bandages. I think that other kids would like this book too because it's funny.

Review: I Really like this book!. Coach Tuttle always appears Wrapped up in bandages because he always trips and fall. He does not know anything about softball. Could the new softball coach really be a mummy?

If Liza, Melody, Eddie and Howie don't find out soon, The Bailey Batters may never win another Game!

Review: You would think that by now, the 21st installment in the Bailey School Kids series, that someone other than a bunch of third graders would notice all these strange characters showing up!! Actually, that's a good deal of the fun of the series!!

The gang is assembled again, this time to play ball against their school rival. Problem is, they never win! It's like the field is CURSED or something... Along comes Coach Tuttle who is perhaps THE most uncoordinated person around! He slips, trips, falls and bangs himself up something terrible. It's like the man HIMSELF is cursed or something... He even carries around HUGE bundles of bandages to patch himself up with. When he's done, he looks a lot like... well, like a MUMMY! But mummies don't coach softball... DO THEY?!?

"Mummies Don't..." is a much more complicated book than any of the others in the series. It involves this supposedly human coach, a missing diamond from a mummy's tomb, the Bailey School baseball diamond, Mrs. Jeeper's house (the 3rd grade teacher who is supposedly a vampire), and a curse. Somehow, it all gets jumbled up and doesn't make much sense, though everything seems to come clean in the end. There is little suspense in this book, and that razzing-insult-a-minute that we've grown to know and love is also missing from this work. I personally was expecting more of a REAL mummy to make an appearance, vs. some clumsy dude in elastic bandages. For die-hard fans of the series who wish to proudly say, "yes, *I've* read all the books!", I recommend it. If you're just into reading a few here, a few there, then this one can go on the skip list.
