Mummies by Keith Newstead
This book includes a superb model for children to press out and construct, created by top model-maker Keith Newstead. Turn the handle and watch in terror as the tomb opens and the Ancient Egyptian mummy comes to life! The book also takes readers on a fascinating journey to Ancient Egypt. As well as describing the mummification process in gruesome detail, it looks at Egyptian gods and goddesses, tombs and pyramids, famous mummies like Tutankhamun and Rameses II, and tells the strange and mysterious story of the curse of the pharoahs. With atmospheric and amusing illustrations by Chris Mould.
I itched to press out the glossy coloured shapes and make up the 3-D Egyptian tomb complete with moving corpses in 'Mummies', and the UFO model which abducts a human at the turn of a handle in 'Aliens', both by Keith NewsteadSome young friends did complete the models and they were ace! Modestly priced for such distinctive quality, including six pages of background information and cartoons.
