About

The Story of Books takes young readers behind the scenes to discover the history and creation of an object they encounter every day—the book. It explores questions such as who invented books, what materials are used to make them, and how finished books make their way onto shelves in schools, libraries, bookstores, and homes around the world. 

Readers learn about the processes and people involved in turning ideas and materials into finished books while gaining a greater appreciation for how books are produced and distributed. Accessible text and vibrant photographs make the information engaging and understandable for developing nonfiction readers. The book encourages children to think critically about the origins of familiar objects and the many steps involved in creating them. 

As part of the Stories of Everyday Things series, it concludes with a related activity, glossary, additional reading suggestions, and internet resources that allow children to continue exploring the subject.
