A light-hearted, but nonetheless informative insight into the
fascinating beliefs and traditions of Ancient Egypt. Striking
collage illustrations by Laura Winstone bring a freshness of tone
to a subject matter that might be ancient, but never grows old.
"Hello my newly dead friends. Gather round. My name is Bastet and
I'm going to be your tour guide to the afterlife. Please make sure
your bandages don't trail as we walk along." Bastet is a mummified
cat who is here to take you on a journey through the mystical death
rituals of Ancient Egypt. Starting with some routine disembowelment
and mummification, she explains about the role of the coffins, the
separation of your soul, the importance of amulets and the various
types of Egyptian tombs. Together, you will cross the river Styx
and face the gods in one final judgement - the weighing of the
heart. Bastet will make sure you have everything you need in the
afterlife, because, it turns out, you can take it with you after
all!
'A fresh author / illustrator pairing here from Cicada Books. This
is a great story, perfectly concluded by Bartholomew's Dad calmly
helping him to get properly ready for school.' -- It's All About
Stories 'With pants and loo roll all over the endpapers, this book
is bound to be a winner - and it's possibly the perfect story for
parents with children who just cannot get up in time for school.'
-- School Reading List Bartholomew struggles to get himself ready
as the monsters from last night's dreams sabotage the most simple
of morning routines. A vast purple monster sits on his chest,
making it hard to get up. A slug monster slimes his clothes, so he
can't get dressed. Brushing teeth, eating breakfast, and even going
to the toilet all present challenges as the monsters mess around at
Bartholomew's expense. Will Bartholomew's dad ever manage to get
him out the door? Hilarious illustrations bring Bartolomew's
frustration and befuddlement alive in this deceptively simple story
that anyone who is not a morning person is bound to relate to.
