I have a 17th month old that absolutely loves to read books. His favorite books are those with the pop up pictures as well as books with magnet puzzles pieces. The only issue with the pop ups is that he absolutely destroys all of them by pulling the pop up characters out rendering the book useless.Well I think I have an idea. This book would combine both a pop up aspect with a puzzel piece.When I was younger there us to be these small capsules that once placed into a glass of water the capsule would grow into some kind of animal, character, etc. they were sponges. With that in mind the book would have puzzle pieces for the characters and the book would come with a small eye dropper and all you would do would be to add water to the pieces and they would grow. This character that grew out from the book would also be a puzzle piece that could be pulled from the book to be played with on the fridge, the tub, and also be placed back in the book.Now obviously the book would no longer close but the book could come with a tiny netted bag to keep all your characters in.The book would have to be water proof but that seems pretty easy in that the books that my son has that have the magnets are a tad thicker with a water proof coating for durability.This could be applied to all types of books, characters, etc.Reward: Would love to help create if possible
Plant a closable metal box securely onto the surface of the moon with non-biodegradeable paper and pen too sign your name, date, or any other message in the book, as we will all (some day) be able to charter a space plane to the moon, to sign the book. The sponsor could leave an ad and charge by line in the book, or books. You could also be buried there, or leave a plaque or tile with your name or a flag of your company or heritage as long as we don't clutter the moon's surface. We could narrow it down to the essentials and I think a guest book and charge would be best, as well as the sponsor's name on the box and book.Reward: Just a thought that would become obvious soon any way. No reward other than being the first to say it here.
Fed up with losing your place in a book? The Digital Bookmark tracks the movement of a page. Simply enter in the page number where the book starts (usually 1, but sometimes not) and for each page turn, the digital bookmark increments.It attaches to the book either via a velcro band or clipped to the top of the book and never loses its place. Drop the book and keep your place! Get interrupted but come back to where you were! Reward: Recognition and at least 1 for free.
I know food isn't allowed in libraries, but this is different. These would be little chips that could be implanted in the spine of a book. If the book went missing then it could be tracked down. The chips would have to be hidden pretty well so that no one could remove them.
A pocket sized book, resembling a novel - with some important advantages... Instead of paper pages, the pages would be made of a thin, flexible, transparent plastic. There would be approx. 300 pages - small enough to carry around in any situation. This book would be digital. Tiny disks or microchips would be downloaded into a slot on the inner back cover, and the pages would magically turn into the pages of whatever book you downloaded - a Biology textbook, or War and Peace - any book in the world. If the 300 pages are not enough, there would be a "Continue" button the very last page, and when pushed, the remainder of the book would be continued from the first page...and so on, until the end of the book. For students, instead of carrying around heavy texts back and forth from school, they would carry this special book, and a small container of microchips or small disks containing their "books". Reward: Save the environment - no trees need to be cut for these books! Less back strain from carrying around heavy text. Less waisted space in libraries and home bookshelves - more space for other uses. Very convenient, and practical!
