Reason for Reading: I think this series is adorable.

An easy reader graphic novel about famous movie monsters when they were kids and went to school together. This time the kids are outside of school again but now on a teacher supervised field trip to a museum and this is where they pick up a new member to bring back to town with them, The Mummy. Happily enough, we get King Tut's mummy and learn some very brief ancient Egypt/Tutankhamen history at the same time. But really the story is just fun and full of gags I enjoy this series probably because I am a Universal Monsters movie buff and find these satisfy the nerd in me. O'Reilly's story is cute and fun as usual with this series suitable for Grades 1-4 and reluctant readers being at a Guided Reading Level K. Scott's Arcana Studios do a magnificent job on the animation quality illustrations. One of the more fun in the series, especially for Mummy fans.

A fun series to introduce classic movie monsters to kids of all ages. Also a Hi-Lo graphic novel for even the youngest of horror geeks.
