Egyptian Mummies: A Pop-Up Book

by Milbry Polk

Summary: Unwrap a mummy to see what lies beneath its bandages, lift the layers of a pharaoh's coffin, and help an ancient priest remove the organs from a soon-to-be-mummified body!

This is a unique pop-up book because it contains detailed information and is for older readers. It is a lot of fun to read and manipulate this book, but beware: the beginning is not for those who can become queasy easily!
