Child's Hornbook Child's Hornbook features an exact-size replica hornbook lesson sheet on a wooden paddle. The lesson sheet includes the ABC's, vowel combinations and the Lord's Prayer. Approximately 2 1/2 inches by 5 inches. The hornbook was used as a primer for basic instruction during the 17th and 18th centuries in the English Colonies. Not really a book at all, original hornbooks were a thin piece of wood about 5 inches long with a handle. A removable paper lesson sheet was placed on the wood and covered with a thin sheet of clear horn as protection.
