What is a horn book?
According to Bertha Mahony Miller’s first Horn Book Magazine editorial, in 1924, the mission of The Horn Book is to “blow the horn for fine books for boys and girls.” In the sixteenth century, English monks taught students to read by using a wooden paddle with an alphabet and a verse glued to the surface. These early children’s books, known as hornbooks, derived their name from the piece of transparent horn protecting the verse.
