What You Never Knew About Beds, Bedrooms, and Pajamas by Patricia Lauber

If you had been born a caveman, where would you have slept? What would your bed have been like? What would you have worn to bed?

How did sleeping change for people as time passed?

Reading Beds, Bedrooms, and Pajamas is like being in a time machine, whisking you from a pile of sticks covered with fur to an ancient bed-closet in Rome to a great hall in the Middle Ages where you literally make your own bed and hit the sack every night ... and beyond. This book will both entertain you with its hysterical cartoons and let you peep into bedrooms through history. You'll see the first pajamas, a carved wooden headrest used instead of a pillow, the first bed frames, wild barbarians, royal beds, and peasant benches.

Best of all, you'll be thankful for a soft warm bed of your own without bedbugs!
