"TV Little Red Riding Hood," 1955
01
Artifact Overview
After World War II, televisions began competing with books and other playthings for children's time and attention. This movable book enticed young readers with a simple gimmick. When readers turned the wheel, the pictures in the die-cut opening on the cover appeared to move -- much like the flickering black and white images then being transmitted to home television sets.
