ABSTRACT:
A book wherein one or more of the covers or pages or binding is provided with a track, and a toy figure is movably coupled to the track. For this purpose, the cover(s) or page(s) which attach the toy figure have sufficient structural integrity to support the toy figure and the movement of the toy figure along the track. Preferably, the track is provided along the edge or periphery of a cover or page so that the toy figure may be moved around the periphery of the book even when the book is closed. The toy figure preferably takes the shape of an animal or other creature which is the subject of a story in the book. In this way, a young reader can easily correlate the movable toy figure with the story. The book is particularly useful in encouraging children to read.
