Jane has been helping me construct a bibliography on interactive fun.
Jane's recommendation was The Telephone Book.
It is a little story about a girl and boy you are visiting.
This one starts with a picture of a telephone with a cardboard handset attached with a piece of black string.
Ting-a-ling a-ling a-ling a-ling!
That's the telephone. It's for you. You answer it. Say "Hello?"
Jane picked up the paper handset. I wouldn't read any more until Jane said "Hello?"
Hello! This is Paul and Judy. Will you come and play with us?
"Yes."
Then there are several pages in which you do stuff with the kids.
Wow! The impression of interactivity that Jane got was satisfying.
