According to Cynthia Burlingham, author of Picturing Childhood, "Movable parts appeared in books as early as the sixteenth century, but not until the mid-eighteenth century were movable books conceived as entertainment for children or adults. The toy trade also became increasingly important as the children's market grew." Today, says Burlingham, the proof is in the proliferation of souped-up children's books. But she clarifies, "The continued vitality of children's publishing, despite competition from a host of newer media, suggests that the illustrated storybook remains unparalleled."
