However, in these books, opening to one of the portions requires cumbersome page flipping or looking in a table of contents for a page number.
Children just learning to read can be intimidated by numerous pages.
These drawbacks can prove quite difficult for a child just learning to read.
The prior art contains examples of books including moving parts, however, none of these books enable direct selection of a portion of the book.
Thorsheim '576, however, does not teach a book with a selector device that allows a user to select and access a given page, chapter, part, rhyme, or story within the book.
Chang '879, however, does not teach the use of a selector device that allows a user to select and access a given page, chapter, part, section, rhyme, or story within the book.
The rotatable movable page portion, however, is not designed to function as a selector device.
Although the inventions of Ozrovitz and Clements may allow a user to access information within the book from a page elsewhere in the book, the access is limited to that contained on the back of the page in use.
Accordingly, although there are books that contain movable parts for enhancing the reader's enjoyment of a book, none of the prior art books provide for directly selecting and accessing a portion of the book.
