Interesting Info

One of the most popular children’s books was “Aesop’s Fables,” a 6th-century Greek collection of stories. It was intended for adults but children enjoyed the stories as well and still do today. After that, the next book written for children wasn’t until 1578. It was called the “Book of Art and Instruction for Young People.”
