Description
The BookIn The Book, Keith Houston reveals that the paper, ink, thread, glue, and board from which a book is made tell as rich a story as the words on its pages. In an invitingly tactile history of this 2,000 year old medium, Houston follows the development of writing, printing, the art of illustrations, and binding to show how we have moved from cuneiform tablets and papyrus scrolls to the hardcovers and paperbacks of today.

Things I’d prefer my children not repeat.
Format: Hardcover
My kids found it entertaining, but as a parent I was not thrilled with all the “poop” and “fart” jokes, as well as characters belittling and calling each other “stupid” and “butthead.”

Funny and clever
Format: Hardcover
Sashimi, a fish boy, is trying to find someone just like him. Instead he finds unlikely friends. The book is very funny and clever with just the right sense of humor for kids 2-100.
I won my copy from a Goodreads giveaway. I will be sharing my copy with my grandchildren who will fall in love with Sashimi, too.
