(2) K-3 Around-the-House History series. Illustrated by John Manders. The dirty truth about our ancestors is revealed in a social history of bathing that explains which cultures embraced personal hygiene and which abstained. The volume simultaneously traces the history of toilets, from Babylon's first flush toilet through Roman multi-seaters to latter-day chamber pots. The cartoonish illustrations, which include some kid-pleasing gross-out moments, reflect the breezy style of the informative text. Bib.
