A teaching aid in the form of an interactive electronic book includes a
number of pages illustrating different life situation scenes (e.g.,
classroom, doctor's office, etc.), each scene including an opening for a
free-standing face to be inserted, in the way a puzzle piece is inserted
in a picture. The electronic book contains a plurality of different
removable faces, preferably stored within an easily accessible portion of
the rear cover, each face expressing a different emotion ("happy", "sad",
"afraid", etc.). The user can then remove the "face" that best defines
his/her feelings about the life illustration on the page currently being
viewed. Additional features include a touch-sensitive area allowing for a
recorded definition of each emotion to be played, and a "game spinner" to
arbitrarily determine the particular life situation page to be explored.
