While on the prowl for books about night I came across some books about beds, naturally! There are lots of books on this subject ... human, canine, flower ... and maybe at a later date I'll go back for more, but for now, this is it. ;-)

Why Do I Have to Make My Bed? Or, a History of Messy Rooms, by Wade Bradford, illustrations by Johanna van der Sterre. I remember asking this question, and come to think of it, getting the same answer. Seems it's a question that has come down from the earliest of times!

For a nice history of how humans have slept through the ages, read What You Never Knew About Beds, Bedrooms, and Pajamas, by Patricia Lauber, illustrated by John Manders.

Remember waterbeds? I had one, and loved it! ;-)
