From the back cover

From back cover: The "little house out back" is not only part of our architectural heritage, but was a vital component of the working household of its era. Memories of the "necessary house" evoke not only laughter and humorous tales, but also feelings of affection for a place used sometimes as a refuge, sometimes as a meeting place, but always as a place that brings back special memories of family, friends, and home. Travel to another era with this nostalgic addition to the dynamic My Folks series. Experience decorating the "uptown" outhouse, hiding from chores and punishments, pesky critters both inside and out, fumbles, bumbles ad natural disasters, pranks on the privy and more in this collection of warm stories, humorous anecdotes and poetry. This is a fun, lighthearted and tasteful treasury you can't afford to miss.

Good 'clean' fun all about the privy.

I enjoyed reading this book. It's a fun way to get some real American history into school, too.
