For younger readers - By: F. Shah, 14 Sep 2008 
This was actually a real good book but I hope the younger readers don't actually copy the girlin this book (which is probably unlikely). This book I would say isn't for teenagers but me being a teenager myself I would then say that this book was quite interesting. Even though it was a very very short book for children it really gets to you & you can't help think how you would feel if you lost one your own pets. Jacqueline Wilson actually did a good job on this book.
Purrfectly written - By: Mehajabeen Farid, 26 Jan 2008 
The Cat Mummy was written by Jacqueline Wilson (one of my favourite authors) & was publishedin 2001/ 2002in two different editions - the Corgi Yearling edition & the Doubleday edition. It was illustrated beautifully by Nick Sharratt (who draws a lot for many different authors) & it was illustrated very exquisitely. This book is great for children who are over the age of 7 or 8 up to the age of 15 or 16 because adults are far too boring to read such a good & exciting book like this one. I think girls would like this book better than boys but I might be wrong.
The plot of the story is that Verity's mum & now her cat Mabel have both died. She is more upset about the cat because she did not even know her mother even though she went to the other's grave a lot. The ending is quite nice though & it is a very clever idea!
SUPERB, ENCHANTING . . . AND UNIQUE - By: , 21 Aug 2003 Firstly, the names of the characters, Verity & Mabel, were very colourful. I think old-fashioned names are brilliant for this sort of story. The illustrations were perfect! Jacqueline Wilson is unique with a gift. The last sentance of The Cat Mummy is a wonderful use of text: 'I'll never love Baby quite as much as I loved my Mabel . . .'
Although I have given this book 5 out of 5, I think the part about Ancient Eqypt is very boring.
The front cover of the book is designed very well & the picture of Mabel the cat, is marvellous!
Jacqueline Wilson is extremly gifted for literature, especially this sort of genre.
All her hardback books give you a sort of comfort when you turn each page.
Watch out for Midnight, Jacqueline Wilson's new realisein October 2003.
This book is one you can't put down! - By: , 14 Dec 2001 This book has sad & happy parts. It's about a girl called Verity but all her other friends have interesting pets & she just has a cat called Mabel. You'll soon find out why it's called 'The Cat Mummy'!
Jacqueline WIlson once more tackles a difficult issue - By: , 26 Sep 2001 I am an adult who greatly enjoys & admires Jacqueline Wilson's work. I found this book, a little darker than the others but still touching issues ignored by many. I am not sure if I would recommend this to a small child, I know I found it disturbing but those who do read it will get a lot out of it.
