Book Week is here, so we’re dusting off a favourite Shortcut from the Squiz Kids Vault. Travel back thousands of years to discover how books developed from clay tablets and handmade paper to the invention of the printing press. Then, meet the author behind the first book written especially for children and count down some of the bestselling children’s books of all time... from much-loved animal adventures to magical worlds, hungry caterpillars and young wizards.
