Our review
Little Baby Mummy delays bedtime with hide-and-seek, then meets increasingly imposing monsters before realizing he is lost and calling for his mother. The title pun and reunion keep the monster world child-sized, but fear briefly becomes real.
Read it for a child who enjoys mild suspense and wants the caregiver to arrive reliably. Skeleton Hiccups stays comic throughout and focuses on attempted cures; Where’s My Mummy? is the stronger bedtime-separation story with a warm return.
Before you buy it
The child becomes lost among monsters and frightened before the mother appears; this may be too close to separation fears.
