(3) K-3 National Geographic Readers series. In challenging but readable text for early independent readers, Carney highlights mummies discovered all over the world. Details such as 2,300-year-old vegetable soup in one mummy's stomach and another's still-soft hair and skin raise the bar on an already high-interest topic. Photographs don't shy away from showing human remains, but they aren't too gory. Vocabulary call-outs and some corny jokes appear throughout. Glos.
