Do you like the movie the Mummy and the Mummy Returns? Have you looked at every Egyptian documentary on the History Channel? Been aching to go see King Tut? This book might interest you. Egyptology: Search for the Tomb of Osiris is a book put out by Candlewick Press - the same group that brought you Dragonology. Written by Dugald Steer and illustrated by Ian Andrew, Nick Harris, and Helen Ward, this is the "fictional tale" of Emily Sands and her illfated expedition for the Tomb of Osiris.
Old and young alike can peak at the travel postcards and letters left behind in this interactive scrapbook. It is filled with illustrations of areas and artifacts they have seen along their journey. You can learn Egyptian hieroglyphics, and a game (the pieces are in the book), and read the journals left behind. This would be fun to read before going to see the next Pharoah exhibit.
