Rem | 85 comments This is a book I read back in 2008 or 2009. The author was a woman and I believe she was an artist as well. I think it was published in the 1990s. The book was fairly short, but I can't really remember what the story was about. The book had a glossary of Egyptian hieroglyphics at the end.

What duplicate are you referring to? The book was for children, as I mentioned earlier. The reading level is probably between 2nd & 4th grade.

Rem | 85 comments No it wasn't that one. If I recall correctly i think the book may have been about mummies being made or something similar. Thanks for the help!!

Anne, do you mean Ancient Egypt by Shirley Jordan? I didn't find a book that perfectly matched your suggestion.
