Where's My Mummy? by Carolyn Crimi, illustrated by John Manders

This book is one of my most favorite read-alouds for Halloween storytimes. The illustrations are beautiful and Little Baby Mummy is an endearing and adorable main character.

The book offers many different talking points- your child can use their narrative skills to guess what will happen next, as well as reviewing their background knowledge about each of the characters we meet in the book.

As you read the book together, you can also point out the new and fun vocabulary, such as “gargled,” “glug,” and “glob,” just to name a few.

Extend the book with the Toilet Paper Mummy Wrap game!

It's best to do this game with at least 4 players in teams of 2, if not more. However, it can just be a fun activity with a child or parent where the parent or child is the mummy. You can also wrap dolls instead of people.

The idea is that each team gets a roll of toilet paper and the first team to wrap their mummy and use up their toilet paper wins. We recommend not covering the nose or mouth too much.

The Perfect Nest

“¡Caramba!” “Sacré bleu!” “Great balls of fire!” It’s a perfect nest!

A wacky series of events culminating in a beautiful twist of an ending with a great—and very natural—conclusion about what makes a family.
