The present invention relates to children's books and, more particularly, to a book with a mechanical sound producing component that is integral to the book. The book includes at least one page having a page frame component and a movable page component that is movable with respect to the page frame component. A movable sound producing component is attached with one or both of the page frame component and the movable page component, such that the movable sound producing component is positioned between the page frame component and the movable page component. The movable sound producing component is movable with respect to the page frame component, such that movement of the movable sound producing component causes the movable sound producing component to movably engage with one or both of the page frame component and the movable page component to create a mechanically produced sound.

A calendar has one or more individual pages of the calendar that include portions of the pages that are omitted, removed or removable in order to enable aligned portions of other pages of the calendar to be viewed through the removed portions. The removed portions can be formed as apertures in the page and/or as removed portions of one or more edges of the page, among others to allow the stacked pages to form a coordinated, and optionally customizable, decorative appearance for the calendar.

A business card comprises front and back sides and a flap permanently attached to the business card. The flap comprises front and back sides and an adhesive on at least a portion of the flap's back side. The adhesive is capable of removably and reusably adhering to objects. The flap is foldable with respect to the business card such that the flap can be placed in at least two configurations. In a first configuration, the adhesive adheres to a portion of the back side of the business card, so that the business card is non-adhesive and can be used like a convention business card. In a second configuration, the flap aligns at least approximately with the business card, thereby presenting the flap's adhesive to be able to adhere to another object such that the front side of the business card faces outward from said another object.

A continuous maze book device provides a maze having continuity through a series of pages. The pages have maze indicia displayed thereon in a sequential order. The pages include a starting page, a medial page, and an ending page. The maze indicia includes a start point and a starting page exit along a continuous starting page path. The maze indicia includes a medial page entry positioned corresponding to the starting page exit and a medial page exit. The maze indicia includes an ending page entry corresponding to the medial page exit. The maze indicia on the ending page includes an end point.

A calendar has one or more individual pages of the calendar that include portions of the pages that are omitted, removed or removable in order to enable aligned portions of other pages of the calendar to be viewed through the removed portions. The removed portions can be fonned as apertures in the page and/or as removed portions of one or more edges of the page, among others to allow the stacked pages to form a coordinated, and optionally customizable, decorative appearance for the calendar.

Systems and apparatus for covering, protecting, and concealing personal, private, confidential, and nonpublic information. The systems and apparatus can include a releasable, removable, or unreleasable binding device, tamper-evident features, labeling features, and binding devices can be configured to connect and secure covering devices and which can substantially rotate 360 degrees, fold back upon itself, lie flat when open, and releasable covering devices to cover personal, private, nonpublic, or other information.

Methods, apparatus, and systems for covering and concealing personal, private, nonpublic, confidential, or other information. The apparatus and systems can include a binding device to connect apparatus together, can include security features, and labeling features.

A system for providing guided interactions with books includes a content delivery terminal communicatively coupled to a computing platform including a hardware processor and a memory storing a content delivery software code, a content registry, and a library of entries corresponding respectively to multiple interaction plans for guiding an interaction with a book. The hardware processor executes the content delivery software code to detect, via the content delivery terminal, a book corresponding to content included in the content registry, and to identify an interaction plan for the guided interaction based on one or more of the content and a user input received by the content delivery terminal. The content delivery software code further identifies a first portion of the content for use in initiating the interaction plan, and outputs the first portion of the content to the content delivery terminal for printing by the content delivery terminal in the book.
