You Wouldn't Want to Be Tutankhamun‪!‬

You are Tutankhamun, ruler of Egypt for a brief but turbulent period. You oversaw a national change in religion and then died mysteriously at only 19 years old. Since your body was first examined experts have been unable to agree how you died, and you have been blamed for a ‘mummy’s curse’ that sought revenge on those who disturbed your eternal rest.

Informative captions, a complete glossary and an index make this title an ideal introduction to the conventions of information books for young readers. It is an ideal text for Key Stage 2 shared and guided reading and helps achieve the goals of the Scottish Standard Curriculum 5-14.
