1. An interactive book comprising:
- a movable mechanical device on the book, being locatable in a plurality of positions;
a light sensor positioned in optical communication with at least one position of the mechanical device, such that a movement of the mechanical device is able to affect light reaching the light sensor; and
an event generator electronically coupled to the light sensor and able to receive from the light sensor a signal corresponding to the light level, and generate an event responsive to the signal.

Abstract
A book having a movable mechanical device having a plurality of positions. A light sensor is positioned in optical communication with at least one position of the mechanical device, such that a movement of the mechanical device is able to change a light level reaching the light sensor. An event generator is electronically coupled to the light sensor. The event generator is able to receive from the light sensor a signal corresponding to the changed light level, and generate an event responsive to the signal.

22. An interactive book, comprising:
-
a book having at least one page, light-sensing means on at least one page of said book for sensing light incident on said page and generating an output signal representative of the intensity of the incident light, means associated with said book and operable by a reader of said book for selectably altering the intensity of incident light transmitted to said light sensing means, means responsive to said output signal for generating at least one activation signal representative of intensity or a change in intensity of said incident light, and event generating means in communication with said book and responsive to said at least one activation signal for generating an event perceptible by the reader, the event being determined by at least one of the intensity of incident light and the change in intensity of incident light.
