Lazy Tommy Pumpkinhead was my entire family's favorite book when I was a child. Now I can't find it on eBay. It's $300+ on Amazon.

Excerpts
added by Katharine Hadow.
In the morning, when the sun rose over the hill and warmed his windowsill, his bed started to move. It rose to the ceiling, then slid Lazy Tommy out, out of his nightshirt, into a bathtub filled with hot water. There was a water-spinning machine in Lazy Tommy's bathtub.

The point of the book is that the house does everything for him, washes him, brushes his teeth, dresses him, feeds him. Until...
One night there was rain and wind, thunder and lightning. The poles which were strung with wires to bring electricity to Lazy Tommy's electric house fell, and the wires were broken. In the morning, when the sun rose over the hill and warmed his windowsill, the electric bed did not move at all.

The suspense begins
The tooth-brushing machine squeezed toothpaste on his toes and scrubbed them. It tickled Tommy terribly.

You'll just have to read the rest for yourself. Enjoy!
