Educational book with interactive elements

DETAILED DESCRIPTION It is the general object of the present invention to disclose a new type of educational booklet utilizing apertured leaves to allow interaction between information contained on a reference page with information contained on the apertured leaves.
In the present invention, the information contained on the reference page may be varied in accordance with instructions contained on the apertured leaves.
In a preferred embodiment, the educational book of the present invention comprises a plurality of varying sized reference elements containing a first set of graphic information areas.
These reference elements are successively superimposed on each other and a base leaf, each reference element being smaller than the reference element behind it.
The reference elements are further arranged for rotation relative to each other and the base leaf about a common axis of rotation.
The book further comprises groups of apertured leaves having at least one leaf per group, with each group of leaves defining an aperture corresponding to one of the reference elements.
A second set of graphic information is contained on the leaves juxtaposed with respect to the aperture.
The leaf groups are superimposed over the base leaf such that the leaf groups define progressively larger apertures as the pages are moved sequentially, cumulatively exposing an additional reference element to view.
Instructions contained on the apertured leaves allows interaction between the secondary set of graphic information contained on the apertured leaves and the first set of graphic information contained on the exposed reference elements in a variable but controlled manner.
In order to retain the base leaf and apertured leaves in alignment, a binding means is used to hold the base leaf and apertured leaves together at one end.
A front and rear cover may further be used to protect the apertured leaves and base leaf from the environment.
