This gently spooky read-aloud treat is also a satisfying bedtime book — sure to delight the youngest reader on many a deep, dark night.
Little Baby Mummy wants just one more game of hide-and-shriek with Big Mama Mummy before bedtime. The night is deep and dark, full of friendly creatures that click their clacky teeth and whoosh past on flippy-floppy wings. But who will comfort Little Baby Mummy if a small, scritchy-scratchy someone gives him a scare? Big Mama Mummy, of course! Fresh, comical illustrations complement this everso- slightly suspenseful story with a satisfying ending.
Carolyn Crimi's tale is told from the perspective of a child mummy who is lost in the wilds of a land described only as "a deep, dark place." This is an interesting peek into an imagined world of monster childhood, and being lost and scared without your mom is also a very common childhood experience. Crimi handles it well, with sincere language, and we cannot help but laugh when the monster that finally turns out to scare Baby Mummyafter he encounters a skeleton, an amorphous blob, and a vampireis a mouse! The illustrations are fun and expressive and have some cool particularssuch as the skeleton's boxer shorts with a dice patternbut could occasionally have used more detail to engage the wonder of readers. The shore of a swamp for example takes up almost two pages and is just grass, and a graveyard Baby Mummy stumbles upon is just a grouping of similar graves. This curious tale of a young mummy lost in a world of monsters preparing for bed will make kids laugh and ultimately feel happy at Baby Mummy's return home. Reviewer: Brendan Frost
