Big Chief Tablet

The Big Chief tablet was a popular writing notebook for several generations of young children in the United States. It utilized newsprint paper and featured widely spaced lines, easier to write in for those learning to write. Its prominence, though, was the cover's representation of a native American in full headdress, hence "Big Chief."

Famous quotes containing the words big, chief and/or tablet:

    God is not on the side of the big battalions, but on the side of those who shoot best.
    Voltaire [François Marie Arouet] (1694–1778)

    American family life has never been particularly idyllic. In the nineteenth century, nearly a quarter of all children experienced the death of one of their parents.... Not until the sixties did the chief cause of separation of parents shift from death to divorce.
    Richard Louv (20th century)

    The eyes, opening and shutting like keyholes
    and never forgetting, recording by thousands,
    the skull with its brains like eels
    the tablet of the world
    the bones and their joints
    that build and break for any trick....
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
