Rex, Michael

The Runaway Mummy: A Petrifying Parody

32 pp. | Putnam | August, 2009 | Trade ISBN 978-0-399-25203-7 $15.99
(4) K-3 A mummy lists the ways he will escape from his Mother Mummy in this send-up of Margaret Wise Brown's The Runaway Bunny. Digitally colored serpents, dragons, and other monstrous beasts figure in Rex's adaptation. Though it's unlikely to elicit the requests for repeated readings that Brown's original does, the story will get a giggle or two from children in the know.
