Mummy Cat

(2) K-3 Illustrated by Lisa Brown. A dainty mummified cat emerges from a small coffin. He prowls the pyramid, looking at paintings depicting first his happy life with an Egyptian queen, then her death. Ultimately, cat and queen are reunited. Rhyming couplets and the gouache, watercolor, and ink illustrations' bright colors offset the eeriness of the subject. Information on Egyptian burial customs and a key to the illustrations' hieroglyphic messages are appended.
