Summary: A twelve-year-old kid finds a magical Egyptian beard in the desert and it attaches itself to him, making him the Pharaoh of the animal mummies. Bab starts out a lonely guy, dragged around the desert by his mum, and ends up with more friends than he can count (even if they have been dead for centuries). And the support cast includes a fish with legs, a very uncoordinated ibis and the evil and creepy Unpharaoh.
