Book Description
Packed with information, hilariously but accurately (well...except for the chickens) illustrated, Hannah Holt and Korwin Briggs' A History of Underwear with Professor Chicken is sure to wedge its way into the annals of history-based picture books. From Paleolithic loincloths to Henry VIII's wives wearing underwear on their heads to Mary Walker, a civil war surgeon who was arrested for wearing men's underwear and clothing to better work on patients, this book surveys the vast and fascinating history of our most private clothing. Modeled by chickens, we trace the history of underwear from the very first discovery- a paleolithic nomad whose body was found completely preserved in ice. From there, we look across time and culture in this completely accessible, new take on boring old nonfiction picture books.

Book Description
The book's stories are connected by connections--the ways families try to hold themselves together as generations move from one another in both time and place. The stories examine these issues just as families face them--through everyday life experiences like giving underwear as gifts; dealing with elderly parents from thousands of miles away; trying to understand what your grandchildren do for a living; obsessing over retirement planning; and the adventures of Hawaii's only teller of Jewish stories. Like everyday family life, the stories are both serious and funny.
