They had books back then?

There may not be too many uses for this in your classrooms since students are graded by age and so most answers would be the same but I’m sure that you can find a use for it.

Or just enjoy it at a personal level.

The other regular post appears Sunday mornings as I try to start a conversation about things that have gone missing from our daily lives.
