- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5I want more of La Reina Fantasma! Un libro fantastico!
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5The third in a series of stories of two kids that have a magic treehouse that can take them anywhere they read about if they only wish it. It was very exciting with some suspense and mystery mixed into it. It also did a great job if mixing in educational information about Egypt, pyramids, and mummies.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5I was OBSESSED with mummies as a kid, but I think that was because I had been told over and over again that ancient Egyptians worshiped cats and I've always been a big cat fan. One way or the other, I always found myself doing projects on pyramids and mummies when I was in elementary school. I know that I enjoyed THIS part of the Magic Tree House series because Jack and Annie's adventure into an ancient Egyptian pyramid begins with a cat, so everything I wanted was in there.Mummies in the Morning has some legitimately unnerving scenes in it. Not only do the siblings interact with an actual mummy, but they spend some time lost in the labyrinthine passages of a pyramid as well. You can tell that Osborne was willing to take a little bit more of a risk for this one -- but it pays off. This story is richer than the two that came before it and at the end you're left feeling like Jack and Annie's adventures into time have actually done some good for once.Otherwise you are left with some more cryptic tidbits about the owner of the treehouse, and if you aren't clamoring to find out what the whole deal behind it is at this point Osborne hasn't really done her job well. It's a great installment in the series and worth the re-read.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Another Magic Tree House classic. Annie and Jack travel to Ancient Egypt and help a ghost-queen by solving the riddle of hieroglyphics and finding their way through the false passages of a pyramid. This book also demonstrates their different talents very well, Annie the adventurer, and Jack the researche
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I did not read this books as a child, so I appreciated having the opportunity to see why everyone likes them so much, and I was not disappointed! My favorite thing about the book is how it takes you on an engaging journey through history. I love history, so I think these books are a great way to introduce children to things they may want to learn more about, but a text book just will not keep them interested. I also like that there is an underlying plot to the series, which is figuring out who "M" is and why the treehouse transports them into the books they read. The main characters, Jack and Annie, are two great kids who are very curious about the things around them. They learned a lot in their journey into the pyramid, and were even the help out a ghost. I found the overlapping of real topics and fantasy story lines to be very well done. I would definitely read more of these books! One of the big ideas in the book is to always be prepared when going on an adventure, which Jack and Annie made sure to be when they brought the book of their hometown with them to make sure they could get home safely: "'Okay,' he said. 'But hold the Pennsylvania book. In case we want to come right back here.'"
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Book three down. Fun with information about Egypt.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5f
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5In 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.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5I finally got around to reading the first five books of the Magic Tree House series, and I have to say that these are perfect for my early chapter book readers. We’ve got a boy and a girl main character...check. We’ve got adventure and action...check. We’ve got readable text...check. What more could I ask for?
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5This time they are going to Egypt. They get to explore a pyramid. The ghost of a queen comes to them for help on reading the hieroglyphs on the wall. They end up helping her find her Book of the Dead and move on to the next life.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Mummies in the Morning by Mary Pope Osborne is an exciting fictional story. In this Magic Tree House series book Jack and Annie are taken back in time to ancient Egypt and investigate mummies from that time. The book is one that children will be interested in and will love to read. It is a transition book for young readers who are not quite ready for a whole chapter book. This could be used in a classroom library and could be used in a classroom study about ancient Egyptians.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Another exciting adventure for Annie and Jack as their book filed treehouse transports them back in time to ancient Egypt. Illustrated with frequent black and white drawings this makes for the perfect transition novel. Encourage a child's imagination and interest for history at the same time.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5"Mummies in the Morning" written by Mary Pope Osborne is a book about mummies and pyramids in ancient Egypt. Jack and Annie, who are siblings, travel back in time via a magic tree house. This adventure leads them on their way to pyramids, which are also referred to as the House of the Dead. Jack and Annie witness a funeral parade, a sled carrying a coffin led by four oxen. At least, they think they do. They carefully decide to enter the pyramid. Once inside, they are sure there are ghosts among them. The haunting idea becomes a ghastly reality when standing before them is a ghost-queen. She is in desperate need of their help to get through the Underworld, and the children are willing to try their best. And so the real adventure begins. As the story unfolds, readers will learn a few interesting facts about the way Egyptians preserved and honored their dead. Osborne incorporates a factual book at the hands of Jack, who does refer to it throughout the story and offer some truths. The author writes the story in a suspenseful tone, with quick and simple dialogue. This kind of story makes it hard for the reader to put it down. I would suggest anyone read this book and see what becomes of the dynamic duo and the queen.
- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5I liked it because it was weird. It was a little scary because there was a dead person, and she looked weird.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5This book is a fantasy because the characters are able to travel back in time to Ancient Egypt. They even have a chance to help the ghost a one of the Egyptian Queens. The plot in this book is effective for the children who are beginning to read chapter books. It is easy to follow and simple, but it is still able to draw the reader into the story. Media: Watercolor and pen
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Jack and Annie take a more active part in this book as they help a ghost find her book of the dead so she can go on to the next life. They find their way in, follow the clues to find the scroll, get trapped, and find their way out following a mysterious black cat.
