Squeaks Discovers Type: How Print Has Expanded Our Universe (Comic Book)

This book is the first original comic book that is published by GPO and it teaches kids about the history of print.

Squeaks Discovers Type! is the story of a video game space mouse who helps an elementary school student Jake discover the invention of printing and its evolution through the ages so Jake can write a report.

The value of this book is that it tells the "story of printing, which is really the story of the profound impact of printing on the dissemination of information worldwide, [it] needs to be better understood, especially in the context of a digital age. Although our comic book is aimed at kids, its message is for everybody" (GovernmentBookTalk).

Please preview selected spreads from the comic book. You can get this book through the GPO Bookstore
