Abstract
Finally! . . . No longer do teachers, librarians, or anyone reading to a group have to stop to show the pictures to their audience. A unique idea has been presented for invention that allows the audience to always see the pictures of a picture book while the story is being read from the back two pages of the book! Numbered tabs allow smooth turning from one picture to the next while continuing to read the story from those back pages. There is also no need to remove the picture from the audience's view to answer questions. The pictures are also on the back pages along with the words.
Claims2
A process for providing an easier, more effective way to read children's picture books to an audience of children which is comprised of a picture book's words/text, respective pictures, and page numbers of the story (book) printed/shown on the back two pages of the book (one page being the back cover's inside page and the other being the back side of the last page in the book) in a manner that allows the reader to continuously read from one page to the next as one would read from the pages of the story itself from beginning to end;
- of a binding system that allows the book to be fully opened horizontally so that the two back pages are fully open to the reader and at the same time, the picture page(s) of the book is fully open to the audience;
- of a numbered tabbing system that corresponds to the page numbers next to the text the reader is reading on the back pages and allows the reader to use the tabs to easily flip to the next picture/page that the audience is viewing and continue using said system until through reading the story;
- and of materials used to manufacture the cover and pages that ensure a sturdiness of them so that when held in an open position, won't bend excessively and the pages won't rip or bend excessively when turning them with the tabs.
