Who knew that an awful fiction series could redeem itself through its non-fiction outlet!
This book is the "Research Guide" associated with the Magic Tree House book "Mummies in the Morning" which I will never read.
My 8-year-old daughter has fallen in love with Egypt (yes!!!) and brought home this book from her school library. She held it behind her back and told me that she had a book about something that she was "really, really interested in." More...

At first glance, this book looked far too advanced for my 4 and 6-year-old. We tried it anyway with great results! They already love the characters Annie and Jack from the Magic Treehouse series. (I think this is a hilarious idea - fictional characters narrating a non-fiction book.) We read a few chapters a night. It goes pretty quickly, and there are several great pictures. I look forward to reading all of these companion books.

Jack & ANnie are telling me about mummies and pyramids. They wrap people in things that are white and let it harden and put them in mummy cases. Then they are mummies. And some of them get buried. I liked the way the pyramids were built; especially the one that was smooth. Auryn 7Y/o

This was surprisingly informative for being a Magic Tree House Research Guide. It was the base of my Ancient Egypt obsession, providing me with what I needed to learn more. It's not really about mummies and pyramids than it is about the ancient Egyptian culture and lifestyle. It provided kids with an excellent look into a time period somewhat forgotten in history.

A great book for young readers to learn more about Ancient Egypt. It kept my 6 year olds attention and we finished the whole book. A great companion to read with Mummies in the Morning. 6 years and up.

Yet another research guide in the Magic Tree House series. Our girls like these books almost as much as the stories and this one was a particular favorite. They've seen some movies about egypt and the pyramids and they love this topic.

This book is an excellent companion to the Magic Treehouse book Mummies in the Morning. After reading the fantasy book, students can learn even more about ancient Egypt by reading this book. This series does a great job of getting young readers interested in a variety of genres and topics.

I like the Magic tree house research guides better then the actual books! Great non-fiction read aloud for MGT fans. Excellent resources and bibliography included. We paired this book with See Inside Ancient Eygpt and the Pyramind Excavation kit from Usborne Books and had a fantastic homeschool theme unit!

The Research Guides are fantastic! The illustrations and little tidbits added by Annie and Jack are absolutely wonderful. They really make the Research Guides very engaging.
