寓教於乐的 3D 立体书
立体书的历史虽久，却仍持续发烧，令老老少少为之著迷。
看小朋友第 1 次翻阅立体书是种奇妙的经验。书中的主角们在小朋友翻页之际从书中跃然而出，而小朋友完全被映入眼帘的景象所迷住。这些饶富想像力的创作所诉求的对象不全然是儿童，许多成人在翻阅立体书时也为之著迷。
立体书经过设计，好让读者翻阅每 1 页的时候，跨页上的部分图案就会跳出来。而这所呈现出来的效果是立体的。设计精美的立体书不只有会从书页跳出来的图案，读者甚至可以移动一些立体的插图、翻开摺页显现暗藏的图像，甚至拉动像机器一样运转的传动装置。
立体书的起源并非来自儿童文学。目前所知的第 1 本立体书和占星术有关，而占星术无疑是制作立体插图的最佳题材。这第 1 本立体书是由 1 位作家兼哲学家於 1306 年所制作的。但立体书一直到 19 世纪才开始大受欢迎，也是在这个时期开始被制作成儿童书籍。立体书於 1960 年代再度流行，这个时期的艺术家重新发现旧版立体书的魅力，并套用新的题材来制作。像 Matthew Reinhart 和 Robert Sabuda 等艺术家已经制作出令人赞叹的《星际大战》、《绿野仙踪》和《爱丽丝梦游仙境》等立体书。立体书最棒的部分是任何人都可以学习如何制作，并加入自己的创意。它唯一的限制仅在於艺术家是否有丰富的想像力。
