ABSTRACT:
A combination book and three-dimensional sculpture is provided, which sculpture has bifurcated first and second portions. The bifurcated portions of the sculpture are hingedly fastened along one mating marginal edge of said bifurcation. Included, in combination between said bifurcated portions, are one or more printable flat sheet which is bound along one marginal edge in registration with said bound marginal edge of said sculpture. The resulting combined structure provides an article having at least a first position, in which said sculpture is closed and appears to be a substantially continuous three-dimensional object, and a second position in which said sculpture is opened to reveal the space between said bifurcated portions, so that the one or more sheet is accessible. In the preferred embodiment, the sculpture is that of a character or of another item depicted in a story and/or pictures included as printed matter on said one or more sheet so that the reader, can imagine having contact with a character or other item set forth in the printed matter. The dimensions of the sheets and the sculpture are selected such that when the sculpture is in its closed position the sheets are not discernible. In one preferred embodiment the edges of the sheets are encompassed by and in substantial registration with the adjacent outer surfaces of the sculpture, whereby the edges of the sheets form a portion of the surface of the sculpture.
