- A hornbook was sometimes called battledores or lesson paddles. 
- In the early versions, the outside was covered in gilt and embossed with papers or floral or marble patterns. 
- Sometimes there was a hole in the handle so the hornbook could be attached to a boy's belt or a girl's girdle.

It was educational. It may not have been fun to read, but it taught them their letters and taught them scripture at the same time so they could learn the values and beliefs of their people. ]]> 2023-02-07 03:47:00 UTC https://padlet.com/module2childrenslit/xc51glxrngizxe4j/wish/2471128447 jasflores51 https://padlet.com/module2childrenslit/xc51glxrngizxe4j/wish/2472453108 -before the 16th century there were no children books

They were often small cheaply made books that had 24 pages and no cover. According to N. Hausman of MIT, chapbooks didn't involve current events or anything of that sort, they were simply pamphlets that had jokes and stories that usually came from Folklore. They were not necessarily for children but they were some of the only types of writing pieces that were available to all people who could afford to buy from the peddlers, including children.
