This is a great read aloud for second graders! Mummies in the Morning transports readers (in the book, the main characters, Annie and Jack) to the time period of Ancient Egypt, where mummies were born. Jack and Annie find themselves running from real mummies- that came alive and trapped inside of dark pyramid walls that seem never-ending. The mystery and suspense are what keeps readers on the edge of their seats throughout the story. A strange encounter with a black cat ends up rescuing the siblings and bringing them to the outside of the pyramid, and eventually out of the land of Egypt. Along the way, Jack and Annie learn a great deal about Egyptians, their ancient writing, and more! There is also a fact finder book in relation to this book, so that real facts about ancient Egypt can be discovered. ( )

A fun book to read, might be a little frightening to children. Also good for getting knowledge on history.
