Clever, macabre submitted by FordAlpha on August 17, 2019, 10:54am The illustrations are great, the rhyming text carefully composed, the emotions genuine, but I'm not quite sure how to feel about this story. It's touching that the mummy cat is so faithful to its mummy queen, prowling around waiting for her to awaken. It's a clever idea to tell the cat's and queen's backstory in the tomb murals, but it's a rather creepy tale of envy ending in murder-by-serpent. Plus, the cat has to die too so as to be mummified and entombed with its mistress. The book is definitely done well, I just couldn't get past the inherent macabre strangeness of the concept.
