Bedtime (Hardcover)

Part of a series which explores different themes using photographs of "mystery objects" from the 1900s, 1930s and 1960s. Children are encouraged to look for clues in each photograph and to guess what the object is. They can turn each page to see a colour illustration of a scene in which the object is being used, with a simple text which gives further information. This series makes some useful links between history and technology and is particularly appropriate for National Curriculum history.;From stone hot water bottles to electric blanket controls, this book looks at how bedtime has changed over the past one hundred years. It also includes teacher notes with suggestions for follow-up work at the back of the book.
