Slant Book

The Slant Book, written by Peter Newell in 1910, is a unique children's book designed in the shape of a parallelogram, creating a distinctive 'V' shape when opened. It features illustrations of a mischievous infant in a carriage causing chaos, accompanied by playful commentary on the facing pages. This book is notable for pioneering special format children's literature, influencing later works like pop-up and cutout books. Newell's innovative approach has led to a resurgence in popularity, making it a valuable resource for educators and parents alike.
