ABSTRACT:
A children's book joined with a bendable figurine to form a figurine book assembly which functions not only as a book but also as an object for play so that the child's interest is sustained in the book. The figurine is a three dimensional character or object which is joined to the book and can be shaped to appear as a character or object in the story of the book. The book can be attached to the figurine so that the figurine extends out beyond the four corners of the book and is thereby at least partially visible from a front of the book. The figurine can have an upper portion that extends over the top of the book and is made of a bendable material so that it can be bent down by the child user over the front cover of the book, thereby holding the book closed. When the child wishes to open the book, the child bends the upper portion up and out of the way of the front cover. The upper portion can be configured as an upper limb like an arm. The book is connected to the figurine with a plug connector which is secured to the back or front cover of the book and fits into a hole in the front or back of the figurine.
