Mummies, Tombs, and Treasure: Secrets of Ancient Egypt
by Lila PerlFrom the back cover: " What happens to people after they die? The Egyptians thought if they mummified a dead person, his spirit would live forever. At first nature did the job; the desert sun dried and preserved bodies buried in shallow sand-pit graves. Mummifying methods became more elaborate with time, as did after-life dwelling places. Eventually, the Egyptians built the largest known tombs--the pyramids--in which wealthy Egyptians were buried with food, household items, and treasure. The ancient Egyptian way of death has left us a rich legacy of information about a way of life of which there is no other record. Lila Perl's thoroughly documented account is as fascinating as it is revealing." The information in this book is very helpful in explaining the background of fictional books about Egypt like The Mummy Chronicles, Mummy's Mother, and the Amelia Peabody mystery books which are all available from Bookshare.

by Vianka Van Bokkem Juan Luis Rivas OrmazábalCuando terminé de empacar, seguí a Papá hasta uno de sus jets privados. El piloto nos estaba esperando. A las pocas horas llegamos a Cabo Cañaveral; desde ahí fuimos llevados al Centro Espacial Kennedy. --¿Qué hacemos aquí, Papá? --Mi regalo de cumpleaños es un viaje al espacio en compañía de cuatro prestigiosos astronautas. Sé cuánto te gusta la astronomía y pensé que éste sería el obsequio perfecto. Estaba estupefacta por la sorpresa de Papá. Los dos habíamos hecho un curso intensivo sobre qué debíamos hacer y esperar dentro de un transbordador espacial. El transbordador rotaba lentamente alrededor de nuestro hermoso planeta cuando de repente vimos algo que se dirigía directamente hacia nosotros. --¿Qué es eso? --preguntamos Papá y yo a la mujer al mismo tiempo. Se acercó a una de las ventanas y miró con preocupación. --Bueno, es muy grande para ser un asteroide. ¡No sé qué es!

Mungo
by Rosalie FryThere comes a time when you've got to let them go free or they'll never learn to look after themselves," old Mrs. Moffatt warned Aunt Hilda. And that was the start of Richie's freedom to roam the wild Scottish coast near the hotel where they were living, for until then Aunt Hilda had been afraid to let him go anywhere alone. Soon Richie found a "special place"--a cliff hidden by overhanging heather, from which he could watch an inlet that he liked to think of as a secret bay. One day, as he lay on top of the cliff, Richie saw an alarmingly long creature stretching out into the sea like a reef of rocks--"like a kind of giant lizard with the longest neck in the world," thought Richie--a silly, friendly smile on its face. This was Mungo, last and gentlest of the ancient sea monsters. Soon Richie learned that Mungo liked to eat sea greens and potato crisps; more important, he noticed that a certain "clong" sound from across the water summoned Mungo out to sea, toward the island of Muckle Craig. In one of Rosalie K. Fry's most entertaining stories, Mungo eventually takes Richie on the greatest adventure of his life.

Kengi’s parents are frustrated, and their principal tells them they need to stop. But Ms. Beatriz tells Kengi there’s somewhere in the neighborhood that they should visit. When Kengi arrives at Mural Island, they discover a place where people can paint safely, freely, and joyfully. So Kengi does. But they’re not the only one painting each day, and soon Kengi recognizes that their art doesn’t have to be permanent to be monumental. With an electric, eye-catching new style from acclaimed picture book creator Katie Yamasaki, Mural Island celebrates art, expression, and the communities that cherish both.
