[return][return]"Romans" -- "Romans slept in their underwear. When going to bed, a Roman simply took off his toga and sandals. [two paragraphs about Roman men] ... Roman women also slept in their underwear." ( ) This informational children's book compares present day items to historical practices. The book gives many details about how bedrooms, beds, and sleeping have changed since the Stone Age. It also talks about how sleeping differs in cultures. For example, "Egyptians did not use pillows. They used headrests, which were most often carved from wood." I enjoyed reading about how different sleeping is compared to today. For example, "Today, we usually have clean comfortable beds both at home and when we go traveling." This is a nice informational text for students to learn about what is was like in earlier ages to sleep, where to sleep, sleeping arrangements while traveling, and what to wear to bed. It was interesting to see how different all these things are today. This book shows the comparison of different objects around the house between today generations since the stone age. These include pajamas, beds, and bedrooms, and how they have changed since then. The book has facts and colorful pictures that give accurate descriptions between the many different time periods. This would be a great book for children in both younger grades as well as older grades. There is also plenty of activities that can accompany this book because of the comparison and contrasting and the facts and informational text. This book gives children a glimpse of how people have slept from the beginning of time, until now. What people wore, how they slept, what they slept in for a bed, etc. is all covered in this book. The book also gives insight to these true stories of the past through fun and cartooned illustrations. The book would be great for younger readers when learning about different time periods in school. In my opinion this is a wonderful book. I really loved the illustrations provided in this book. The pictures take up most of the page with a small amount text that goes along with the pictures. I liked how they describe the different ways people and animals sleep, where they sleep and how they sleep. The author also adds information about historical cultures and how they slept during that time period, for example the author talks about the stone age, the ancient world, the greeks and romans, and middle ages. The language of the book is very appropriate for young readers and is easy to understand. This book is a great way to teach children about history but with a topic that isa little less serious and fun for them. sem resenhas | adicionar uma resenha

You make your bed in the morning. At times in the past, people really made their beds -- and at night they stuffed straw into a sack, making a bed to lie on. Nightclothes were first worn in the 1500s. Before that, people slept in their day clothes, their underwear, or nothing at all. In Ancient Rome, bedrooms were small. A servant guarded the doorway by sleeping across it. Learn these facts and more in this true but funny account as Newbery Honor Patricia Lauber and celebrated illustrator John Manders go under the covers to explore beds, bedrooms, and pajamas since the Stone Age. They'll show you how the world's been sleeping since the dawn of time. Não foram encontradas descrições de bibliotecas. |
