Critics Review
Selected for CBC’s Summer Showcase 2024: Imagination Celebration
“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. The illustrations are well drawn and visually interesting. For the right child, this book could prove very interesting.” —Anne Peters, Chicago Book Review
“Kids will love that different characters from King Tut, a mummy cat, and a mouse relay information in dialogue bubbles. Fun!” —Imagination Soup Blog
“I loved this fun story and so did my children. It made learning so much fun. It was written in a creative and exciting way that captivates us. The story was easy to follow and understand. The bright and colorful illustrations really bring out the magic of this little adventure. We can’t wait to add this to our home library. Enjoy this little adventure with your family.” —Katie W., NetGalley-Reviewer
“I adored how appealing the images and story made this book. I find it hard to find fun educational books that younger children are drawn to, but this one fits the bill.” —NetGalley-Educator
