Hornbooks and Inkwells by Verla Kay illustrated by S.D. Schindler*

With rhyming text, Ms. Kay relates how children learned in the 1700's in an one-room school house.  Readers witness the change of seasons and also how the students mature. 
The author's note was very interesting.  She mentions how her research led her to discover Christopher Dock and his revolutionary teaching style.
The illustrations are expressive and endearing.
*Highly recommend.
