K-3Around-the-House History series.
Illustrated by
John Manders.
In this work on the historical evolution of beds, bedrooms, and bedclothes, Lauber begins by presenting sleeping arrangements during the Stone Age (a clan on the ground) and comes full circle with a contemporary family camping out (again on the ground). The cartoonish illustrations depict different styles of beds and homes, and humorously anachronistic speech bubbles add levity to the carefully developed history. Bib.
