Review

This story about a mummy cat who comes alive in his pyramid once every one hundred years to roam around the tomb searching for his dead queen is entirely too sad and depressing for the targeted audience. The illustrations are fine, but the overall premise is not appealing to this reviewer in the least. The only young readers to whom this might be of interest are those enamored of mummification, hieroglyphics, or budding Egyptologists. Give this one a lot of thought before considering adding it to your collection.

Overall Book Score: poor
