• Be Prepard To Be Grossed Out!!!! 11 March, 2004
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.

What a handy little introduction into the world of ancient forensics! This little book is written toward the young adult crowd is all of 64 pages, but it certainly manages to pack all the facts, knowledge, and passionate intrigue into those for a well-rounded base cover of all the nasty details of old bodies.
It's easy to see that Wilcox is fascinated by all of this, and that feeling carries on to the readers. She puts in plenty of researched stories to discuss various aspects of the science, plenty of stories of which I have never even heard. Then comes all the fascinating nitty-gritty (considering) details of all that goes on in the studies.
It's not the easiest of reads due to the high amount of information, but neither is it the hardest, and the small size should be a comfort. Another great part is all the cool/pictures, and that is one of the reasons this book is so kid-friendly.
It's educational, fun, and shows lots of pictures of mummies and dead bodies. Great stuff.

• Disgusting, Yet Educational 04 November, 2008
Perfect for the prepubscent boy :) The pictures are a bit morbid, but the text is eductional and the author is very respectful of the customs of ancient people.
I would recommend looking over this book first, with your specific child in mind, before just handing it over.

• Workshop Review 12 June, 2003
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.
