Abstract
A customizable book allows the integration of animation aids to engage readers and encourage them to interact with the story. The animation aids include a fire hose bubble blowing, puppet attachments, and apertures are configured to frame the face of a child and create the appearance of the child's face being in the book. The pages of the story may include illustrations to create the appearance that the user's face is positioned on top of a character's body. Puppet attachments may also be used and the puppet's hands can be manipulated through hand apertures to create an appearance of a moving figure on the page. The firehose bubble blowing may be used with the book by attaching a front nozzle of the bubble blowing to the book through an aperture, to create an appearance of bubbles being produced by a page of the book.
