Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:Stone Age people invented the first knives...and also the first spoons. In the Middle Ages the first books of manners told readers to wipe their greasy fingers on the tablecloth. And in 1669 King Louis XIV ordered that table knives should have rounded ends because there'd been too many stabbings. In What You Never Knew About Fingers, Forks,andChopsticks, Patricia Lauber and John Manders serve up a hilarious and informative look at how ways of eating and manners have changed through the ages. This well-researched tour of social history makes the subject of how we eat more fascinating and fun than you ever imagined it could be. Synopsis:Help children learn about manners with a lively, light-hearted journey through time showing how our eating utensils and customs have evolved from the Stone Age to today. Colorful illustrations throughout. About the AuthorPatricia Lauber is the author of more than ninety books for young people, including Volcano: The Eruption and Healing of Mount St. Helens, which was a Newbery Honor Book. She lives in Weston, Connecticut, with her husband and two young cats. As this book went to press, Lauber and Manders were hard at work on a book about bathing and bathrooms through the ages.
