We just finished reading Eating the Plates for story time.  Destry wrote a review of the book.

We learned about how the pilgrims survived in the promised land. They had no chairs they had to make chairs out of wood it was hard work and they had to make their own houses by themselves.  The kids had to sleep on the table if the bed was not big enough.

The mom and dad got to sleep on the bed though

And the children had to stand when a lade was in the room and they ate in front of the fire place in the summer and in the winter but in the summer wouldn’t that be really hot and it is pretty cool how they cook their food over the fire place it was a cool book but it a long time to read and there was also the baby’s crib was made out of wood that would hurt my back. They might have put blanket in the crib.
