Mummies Don't Coach Softball — Marcia T. Jones; Debbie Dadey

There are some pretty weird grown-ups living in Bailey City. But could the clumsy new softball coach who keeps wrapping up his injuries in bandages really be a mummy?

The Bailey School Kids are going to find out!

Howie shook his head. "Coach Tuttle is clumsy, all right, but he is a normal man."

"Yeah," Eddie agreed, "Mummies are dead guys wrapped in toilet paper. Coach Tuttle is definitely alive."

"Maybe you're right," Melody said. "After all, mummies don't coach softball."

Howie pulled on his softball glove. "Think about it, Liza. What would a mummy be doing in Bailey City?"

"I have thought about it," Liza told them. "And I think I know the answer."
