Abstract: A card having a shaped, cut way area adapted to frictionally engage a removable, three dimensional figurine. The figurines may be fabricated of plastic and should be suitably configured to be frictionally held within the card. The remaining areas of the card are preferably flat and can be imprinted with descriptive matter relating to the figurine, or the like. Removable engagement of the figurine within the card permits the figurine to be used optionally as a toy separate from the card or as a three dimensional illustration relating to the matter printed on the card.

Abstract: A multi-page book containing removable, three dimensional figures is disclosed. The figures may be fabricated of molded plastic in known manner and are suitably configured to be frictionally held within the pages of the book. Areas of the pages can be imprinted with descriptive or educational material relating to the adjacent figures to form a storybook which utilizes three dimensional representations of the subject matter presented to enforce learning and increase reader interest. The book is designed to removably engage the three dimensional figures within its pages. The engagement of the figures within the pages permits removal of the figures to thereby allow them to be used either as toys separate from the book or as reinforcement aids for the learning process.
