"I would have adored this as a child, and certainly would have read and reread this book. The illustrations are very helpful, and do a good job of showing what the artifacts looked like, as well as the settings in which they were found and used. There are funny touches, like the mummified cat and the rats, who show up in unusual places, but in general, there is a real effort to replicate the museum setting and to use the illustrations in an informative way." —Karen Yingling, YA Books Central
"Magical Museum could prove an excellent source for a research paper for an older child or for an adult to read to a younger child with a real passion for Ancient Egypt.
