Howard and the Mummy: Howard Carter and the Search for King Tut's Tomb

40 pp. | Farrar | August, 2018 | Trade ISBN 978-0-374-30305-1 $17.99
(2) K-3 Illustrated by Boris Kulikov. Fern shares with readers the life of archaeologist Carter--his boyhood fascination with all things Egyptian, his dreams of one day finding a mummy (he eventually discovered Tutankhamun's tomb in 1922), and his dedicated self-study of Egyptology--emphasizing his painstaking attention to detail throughout. Kulikov's mixed-media illustrations, which reflect the hues of the Egyptian desert, beautifully complement and extend the text, incorporating occasional comedic touches. Bib.
