Nice little nonfiction book about the development of earmuffs. Particularly useful if you need to get into copyright/patent law with kids (I'm serious) or if you want to consider truth vs how history is remembered/recorded.

Gum. It’s been around for centuries—from the ancient Greeks to the American Indians, everyone’s chewed it. But the best kind of gum—bubble gum!—wasn’t invented until 1928, when an enterprising young accountant at Fleer Gum and Candy used his spare time to experiment with different recipes. This book tells the story of how pink Dubble Bubble was invented.
