Designer Romy van den Broek has managed to combine two of my most favorite things into a very exciting new idea!! Through the looking glass is his latest idea of creating an interactive story book. Combining classic children's literature and what looks like your ordinary floor mount mirror, van den Broek has created a way to draw a reader into the story as the main character! Readers stand on a mat that is connected to the mirror unit where the pictures of the story are displayed, and while the book is read aloud, readers have to perform specific tasks as the character in order for the story to continue! You get to literally be the character. Kids of every age will love this!! I want one now! Too bad it's only a prototype, and likely to be pretty expensive! His idea is to bring children back to classic children's literature such as Alice in Wonderland and to instill in them a lifelong love of reading. Most likely it will make a regular book seem boring and even more outdated than do audiobooks now.
