What You Never Knew about Fingers, Forks, and Chopsticks

33 pp. | Simon | September, 1999 | Trade ISBN 0-689-80479-2 $$16.00
(3) K-3 Around-the-House History series. Illustrated by John Manders. Quirky facts and social history trace human methods of eating and the evolution of table manners from the Stone Age to the present. The straightforward tone of the text contrasts and highlights the exaggeration and goofy humor of the watercolor cartoons. Some pictures speculate on the unknown (how chopsticks were invented); some have dialogue-balloon commentary; all amuse.
