ABSTRACT:
A device for amusement and instruction comprises a succession of planar display panels, hingedly connected to collectively provide a book-like structure. The panels display words, pictures and the like. One or more of the panels displays an incomplete or partial scene within its perimeter. Adjunct display members needed to complete the partial scene are supported by such panel and/or an adjacent panel for movement from disposition within the perimeter of the book-like structure to position completing the partial scene. When the panels are disposed to provide the book-like structure, the adjunct display members may be nested within its perimeter such that the closed book-like structure is generally square, rectangular, or of other desired shape, not evidencing the presence of the adjunct display members.
