Another hilarious adventure for children with Mr. Mummific, the mummy
with attitude. Having described his death and long mummification process
in his last book, How I Became a Mummy, he now tells the story of his
mishaps, misunderstandings, and misadventures as he leaves his tomb
through the False Door to embark on the complicated and hazardous
journey to the Afterlife aboard the magnificent Ship of Millions. The
dangers he faces along the way (and desperately hopes to avoid) include
being left hanging upside-down from the cavern ceiling, being swallowed
(and vomited out again) by a giant serpent, or becoming a tasty morsel
for the hideous Eater of the Dead. Once again, the pompous and
frequently perplexed former pharaoh is our entertaining guide to some of
the traditions and beliefs of the ancient Egyptians. Illustrated with
eighty colorful scenes from the deathly existence of the funniest mummy
you'll ever meet, Mummies, Monsters, and the Ship of Millions is a
further ghastly treat for children and Egyptologists of all ages.
