Horn book
From LISWiki
A type of child's primer in the shape of a paddle which appeared at the end of the sixteenth century, consisting of a sheet of parchment or paper protected by a transparent sheet of cattle horn, mounted on an oblong piece of wood with a handle by which it could hang from a child's girdle. Its shape suggests that it may have been used in games.
