Cat Mummies
- Binding: Paperback

Description:
"Trumble explains and elaborates on a fact that most children's books just make mention of: Egyptians worshipped cats and mummified them using the same techniques they used to preserve their pharaohs. Extensive research is evident in the many original sources quoted and the lengthy bibliography. What emerges from this volume is a fascinating legend of how the Egyptians' devotion to the sacred animals became fanatical -- people would rescue their felines from burning buildings and let their belongings go up in smoke -- and eventually led to their downfall. ... Footnotes, a chronology, a glossary, and a list of museums with cat mummies all reiterate the author's thoroughness in researching her topic.
Expand description
"The delightful watercolors not only visually expand the text but also have an easy, inviting quality to them that draws readers right in, starting with the cat mummies on the cover, some wrapped in linen, others with faces of gold. A short description of human mummification, notes, a bibliography, a chronology of Egyptian history, and a list of names and terms are appended in a book that should interest students and browsers alike."
