Why Do I Have to Make My Bed?

Since ancient times one question has endured in the hearts and minds of children: Why do I have to make my bed if its just going to get messed up again? Now Wade Bradford takes readers on a trip through time for a humorous look at how bed-making has evolved throughout history. Using examples of household tasks that might have been performed in colonial America in ancient Egypt by Vikings and so on this clever examination of chore lore eventually reveals the answer to this age-old question. (Hint: Mothers throughout history have always had a ready response.) This book makes history so much fun kids wont even realize theyre learning.
