As the description from the inside of the dust jacket says, this book is "written as a series of riddles and illustrated in the style of medieval manuscripts" and is beautifully done. Back matter includes a three-page epilogue of background information and a page of keyword suggestions for internet searches to find out more about Gutenberg himself and various aspects of the process of bookmaking. Beyond simply enjoying the literary and artistic beauty of this book, it can also be used as an introduction to a number of different topics. Highly recommended. ( ) Picture-book author James Rumford, whose biographies in the form include such titles as Sequoyah: The Cherokee Man Who Gave His People Writing and Seeker of Knowledge: The Man Who Deciphered Egyptian Hieroglyphs, here turns to the story of Johannes Gutenberg, and the incredible printing press that he invented. Framed as a puzzle, the narrative here describes an object made with rag and bones and soot and seeds, wearing a dark brown coat and filled with gold. What was that object? A printed book - the first printed book - which would revolutionize the world... A wonderfully creative and educational way to present the story of Gutenberg's printing press, From the Good Mountain: How Gutenberg Changed the World is both informative and entertaining. It was fascinating to learn how each of the constituent elements of a book - the paper, the ink, the binding, the decorations - were made, and to think of how radically Gutenberg's press changed the way in which the printed word was transmitted, how much easier and more quickly books could be produced. The accompanying artwork is gorgeous, with full-page paintings on one side of each two-page spread, and beautifully ornate decorative elements accompanying the text on the other side. Recommended to anyone seeking children's books about Gutenberg and his revolutionary printing press. This book is about how books were made in Germany in the year 1450. It starts by explaining each piece of the book and then tells the story of Johannes Gutenberg. It explains his presses of how books are made. Use to inform children how books were made in the 1400 and to use as a cross-cultural book. Media - Multimedia Genre Historical Fiction This book is a good example of Historical fiction book because it explained all aspects of what goes into a book, it explains the man behind the process of the book, it uses actual places in the book, and it provides accurate information.
