Illustrated by
Steve Gray.
"There was an old mummy... / who swallowed a spider." Anyone familiar with the original folksong can guess what happens next in this twisted twist: the mummy's belly (or what used to be his belly) is soon full of things that go bump in the night. Glowing with Halloween anticipation, cartoonish digital illustrations use lots of wide, fearful eyes and luminous backgrounds.
