Get ready for giggles and ghouls in this celebration of hard-working mommies who also happen to be mummies. Here you'll find a doctor mum curing raspy spooks with coffin syrup and a fang-filling dentist completely wrapped up in her dangerous work. You'll also meet a librarian mummy who has her hands full with book worms, a writer mum conjuring spells for readers, and many others. With visual and verbal puns galore, this scream of a book helps illuminate the mysterious world where so many mommies disappear every day--and may also explain why some of them come home slightly unravelled.

Every mummy is a working mummy.
By Amelia Gremelspacher
My grandson got this book from the library, and I liked it so much I bought for him and for his cousins. My only issue is that home mummies are working mummies too and this point is not included. Other than that, it is a wonderful book. The illustrations are in such detail that a toddler loves to take a lot of time checking out all the different drawings. And at 3, he loves to say "eeewwwww", so the mummy theme is perfect for him. Finally, I love the gentle lesson that mummies not home still love their babies.

By The Mystic Eye Of The Hipster
The artist is wonderful!He creates a friendly version of Transylvania that is wonderful to look at!The Mummys go to work, all to help the kids at home.And the rest of this haunted house/funhouse world is full of visual jokes certain to please.For the grownup reading it to a child, well, if you're an Addams Family fan, or loved The Munsters, you'll get a kick out of this too.

Wonderful illustrations
By Kristin Fields
I am a librarian and really enjoyed getting this book for our library. The sing-song short verses are hilarious and the pictures are imaginative without being too goulish for even young children. Every page is chock full of scenes that would provoke many comments and questions. The book would be good for children of all ages, especially those who have trouble sitting still!
