This is a great read aloud for second graders! Mummies in the Morning transports readers (in the book, the main characters, Annie and Jack) to the time period of Ancient Egypt, where mummies were born. Jack and Annie find themselves running from real mummies- that came alive and trapped inside of dark pyramid walls that seem never-ending. The mystery and suspense are what keeps readers on the edge of their seats throughout the story. A strange encounter with a black cat ends up rescuing the siblings and bringing them to the outside of the pyramid, and eventually out of the land of Egypt. Along the way, Jack and Annie learn a great deal about Egyptians, their ancient writing, and more! There is also a fact finder book in relation to this book, so that real facts about ancient Egypt can be discovered. ( )

A fun book to read, might be a little frightening to children. Also good for getting knowledge on history.

Jack and Annie already have enough mummies to deal with but the magic tree house has a different plan for them.. The tree house takes them to Egypt where they meet a mummy who needs help. Jack and Annie have too kind of hearts to just let the mummy go without helping her, but what does the mummy need help with exactly? ( )

You wondered whether dead boys were called Boy Mummies, not Daddies. ( )

Brother and sister, Annie and Jack are sent back to ancient Egypt and are lead into a tomb to find the ghost of Egyptian Queen, Hutepi. She asks them to help her read hieroglyphics and them asks them to go find The Book of the Dead, in order for her to cross over onto the other side. After searching all around the tomb, Jack and Annie finally find the book and return it to the queen. On their way out, Annie gets lost in a trap but Jack helps her find her way back and they make it out of the tomb just in time to see Queen Hutepi riding her ship to the other side. Then, Annie and Jack get back in their treehouse and are sent home. ( )

Jack and Annie are exploring ancient Egypt when they get lost in a pyramid. As they are in the pyramid, they come across a box. Annie opens in and sees a real mummy inside. She runs away, and gets even more lost. Jack eventually finds her, they find their way out of the pyramid, and get back to the tree house. Jack finds that book about Pennyslvania, wishes they were home, and then they were back. This would be good to teach about how to continue on a story, in order to make a series, as well as teaching about fiction writing. ( )

In this the third book in the Magic Tree House Series, Jack and Annie go back to Ancient Egypt. In their pursuit of the strange black cat they learn about Egyptian funeral processions, pyramids, tomb raiders, mummies and much more. I recommend these books for young readers ready for a short chapter book. They include mystery to keep readers reading and new learning about people and places. This book in particular teach kids about ancient Egyptian people and some of their customs and language.

Mummies in the morning is about a brother and sister who use a magic tree house to do time traveling. In this book they go back to ancient Egypt times where they had mummies. They find a ghost queen who asks them to help her to go to the afterlife, after many complications and adventures they finally help her and return home to their mother making them sandwiches. This book is Historic realism because Egypt and mummies are actual historic events and are kinda true but it had some short of fiction.

This book is a short yet intriguing story about Jack and Annie, who travel to Ancient Egypt via their Magic Tree House. They end up in the middle of an ancient Egyptian funeral procession and journey into one of the infamous pyramids. I think the story could be longer and have more happen in it, but I do like how the story includes tidbits of information about Ancient Egypt and the print is very easy to read. This book would be a great compliment or addition to an elementary school lesson about Ancient Egypt, although being a 24 year old book it is possible some of the information could be outdated or updated.

I really liked this book because it gives the readers a taste of Egyptian culture and how they Egyptians used to bury people in power. In this book, Jack and Annie are sent to Egypt through a book and wind up helping an Egyptian ghost find her Book of the Dead so she can continue on to the Next Life. The ghost has been waiting a thousand years for someone to help her because she is partially blind and can't see the clues. Together, Jack, Annie, and the ghost figure out that the clues mean stairs, jug, boat, and cloth which are all items in her burial chambers. All of these clues led Jack and Annie to find the ghost's Book of the Dead. It took Jack and Annie awhile to figure out the clues and put the pieces together, but they both figured that the ghost had been waiting a thousand years, they could take some time to help her. The main idea of this story is to take time to help people who need it. There weren't many illustrations in this book, but the ones in it really helped to picture the setting Jack and Annie were in. For example, there was a picture of inside of the mummy's tomb which helped visualize what it looked and like and the items kept inside of the tomb with the mummy such as jewels and clothes. I also liked the book because the writing was very informative. For instance, when Jack and Annie first arrived in Egypt there was a an Egyptian funeral going on and the text tells the readers that an Egyptian coffin is called a sarcophagus. The readers also learn through the text that mummies have to go through the Underworld which contains poisonous snakes, lakes of fire, monsters, and demons before moving on to the Next Life. ( )

Annie wants to visit the pyramids and Jack is willing to go with her to Egypt. Somehow the duo landed in the dessert watching a group of Egyptians walking towards one of the many pyramids. After listening to Jack explain the funeral process of the Egyptians, Annie wants to go see the mummy. Once in the tomb, the kids hear a ghost. The ghost is the spirit of the Queen of the Nile. The queen is in search of a special book that will lead her to the next life. The book is supposed to help her survive in the Underworld, and little know where to find the book. The Queens brother left clues to where the book is hidden. Jack and Annie figure out where the book is located and leaves it in the coffin. When escaping the tomb, Jack and Annie have to listen to a cat's meow in order to find their way out of the tomb. The cat leads them to their tree house, and this leads the explores back home. ( )

I have always liked these books. I think that the author does such a great job of transporting the reader to wherever the characters are. Her use of words depicts such a strong imagery for the reader. For example she writes, “He was very sleek and dark. With bright yellow eyes. And a wide gold collar.” This is the description she gives for a cat. I also thought that the author designed a well-developed plot. The author foreshadowed the fact that Annie couldn’t wait for Jack which caused her to get lost in the pyramid. The fact that the cat that was at the beginning of the story was able to help the children out of the pyramid shows a full circle in her text. I also think that Osborne did a good job of creating the complex relationship of the characters as siblings. The relationship between Jack and Annie keeps the reader involved and wanting to read more. This big picture of this story is to have faith in what is unseen or unknown. I say this because Jack and Annie don’t understand who M is or what part he/she plays in their lives, but they know there is a reason for it. ( )

In this adventure, Jack and Annie discover the tombs of ancient Egypt. I liked this book for three reasons. First, the author incorporates the previous books in the series into this one. For example, “Maybe M wanted the gold medallion back. The one Jack had found on their dinosaur adventure. Maybe M wanted the leather bookmark back. The one from the castle.” Having this connection makes it feel like I am more involved in the book because I too went on these adventures (if you read them). I did not feel like she was telling me the story, but as if I lived them too. This is a great aspect to have when looking at books for children because it will keep them more engaged. Another reason I liked this book is because the language the author used was descriptive but direct. When reading a chapter book having the descriptive language is essential to the plot, but sometimes the author can get carried away. When this happens I often lose interest. But Osbourne does a good job of adding descriptive details, but not to an extent that it becomes boring. For example, “The wind started to blow. The leaves began to shake…it spun faster and faster. And faster! Suddenly everything was still. Absolutely still. Not a sound. Not a whisper.” These few sentences are short and direct, but are very descriptive. This is also all the description given on the page. Therefore, it is not overbearing where it becomes boring. Lastly, the book pushes readers to learn about different parts of the world. This book especially focuses on ancient Egypt and their way of life. The book does this by providing insight onto how ancient Egyptians dealt with death, which has now become apart of Egypt culture. For example, this excerpt from the book talks about what happens when someone dies:
When a royal person died, a grand funeral procession took place. Family, servants, and mourners followed the coffin. The coffin was called sarcophagus. It was pulled on a sled by four oxen.
We the audience gets to learn these little facts about ancient Egypt alongside the characters in the book. This makes us feel like we are not only in the story, but as if we are learning these facts first hand. ( )
